This can be verified: $ node -v v15.4.0 $ npm -v 7.0.15 The above output states that npm 7.0.15 is used along with node.js 15.4.0. We can also specify the exact version to be installed. # 100.0% Computing checksum with shasum -a 256 Checksums matched! Now using node v10.14.0 (npm v6.4.1) The semantic version format is defined by SemVer: $ nvm install 10.14.0 Downloading and installing node v10.14.0.
