I’ve updated to the release version of Wappler 6 and it’s telling me to update to the most recent version of NodeJS.
I have not been using Wappler for long enough to know how to do that.
Can someone please provide advice on how to do that . . . in some detail to assist a newbie through the process?
Thanking you in advance for your time and kind assistance.
Not sure! Have you tried
Oh! And welcome to the community. Keep asking if this does not solve the problem.
I had been doing that, and not getting to where I needed to be.
However, I’ve just looked more carefully at the instruction to use ‘scoop update nodejs-lts’ to install new version. (I had misread nodejs-lts as nodejs=-is, and of course that wasn’t going to work . . .
I spelled things correcter and it updated me to nodejs-lts from v20.9.0 to v 20.10.0, and I’m seeing from the Node.js team article from today that it is the most current version for NodeJS (LTS), so I guess I’m good and just a wee bit smarter about Wappler than I was a few hours ago.
Thanks for the leg-up!
I’m learning that the current-current version is Node.js 21.2.0 (release date 2023-11-14. So that’s newer . . . but also that the LTS that trails the version number means “long-term support” which generally means that critical bugs have been fixed for at least 30 months.
Would I be correct in understanding that if I were to do the install from scoop without tagging the -lts to the nodejs that it would be possible for me to install the most current version . . . with the caveat that I might be flying loose-as-a-goose with respect to mangling my work with a bug that sinks its fangs into my code?
I am still on Node v 20.7.0 without a problem. But if you want to update, be careful of the latest version as this may contain bugs. LTS is the better option.
