How can I install an older version of npm even though I already have a newer version, in order to get react native working

Question

Trying to use react native but apparently the newest version of npm doesn't work with it. How can I install an older version. Thorough instructions would be very helpful. Thanks

Also, I am VERY new to this entire programming thing. I know some basic JavaScript an decent Python but that's about it, is I too early for me to attempt to learn react native

What error u get while using newest version of npm ? – Ravi Raj Aug 04 '17 at 06:26 — Ravi Raj, Aug 04 '17 at 06:26

Try this:

First uninstall existing npm using npm uninstall npm -g command .

Then remove nodejs.

Install nodejs again.

Now, install npm using npm install -g npm@4.6.1
