How to install specific version of ionic via npm

Question

What command do I need to run to install specific version via npm?

If I run the code npm install -g cordova it installs the latest version. Since I'm using multiple laptops and computers I need them to have same versions when I switch back and forth to them.

This is the version of IONIC I am using and preferred: I'd like to avoid and update them all as I may encounter bugs if I use the latest version.

Ionic CLI is out of date: Locally installed version: 1.3.20 * Latest version: 1.4.3 * https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-cli/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md * Run npm install -g ionic to update 

btw, I found these releases via github https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-cli/releases

Thanks in advance for the help!

Answer 1

Syntax

To install a specific version through npm, the following syntax should be followed:

npm install -g ionic@VERSION 

• Where VERSION is the number of the version we want to install from Ionic

Example

Let's say that we want to install IONIC 1.4.0, because you should specify:

npm install -g [email protected] 

Notes

To see all available versions use: npm info ionic.

Answer 2

Linux:

sudo npm install -g  [email protected] 

Mac

npm install -g  [email protected] 

Replace 2.2.0 for the version you want
