Hey guys, I followed these steps and ran these commands in my terminal but after restarting my terminal it still says nodejs --version is 10.19.0 and node --version is 15.13.0 which is odd because if I open my powershell command line my current version of nod is 16.13.2 which is what I want. Any ideas of what's going on?
my nodejs version is also 10.19.0. and node version is 16.13.0.
Don't worry, you are not going to face any error because your node version is > 12
for installing the latest version open terminal and type
sudo n latestthis is the easy way for download the latest version. On the otherhand there are some issue with the latest version. if you are learning react or other framwork you can face some error for this latest version.
so, your node version is ok. feel free to use it.
thanks bro
