I want to degrade the serverless version from 2.41.2 to 2.35.0

Question

By mistake I had installed the higher version of serverless on my pc. Now I want to degrade my serverless framework version from v2.41.2 to v2.35.0 due to some project requirements.

What I had tried to do:

I uninstalled the current serverless framework with npm uninstall -g serverless.

Then ran this command npm install -g serverless@2.35.0

But when I ran this command serverless --version it is still showing the version 2.41.2 on my pc.

In addition to being installed globally via NPM, serverless can also be a project dependency. If you're working in a node project, ensure that serverless isn't listed in the package.json file or in the package-lock.json file.

If so, run npm uninstall serverless and then npm install -d serverless@2.35.0, to install the framework in the project at the correct version.

I had currently installed it globally, if I add it as a dev dependency in my project it would work fine? – Arslan Ali May 17 '21 at 12:58
Yes, it'll install the package locally and resolve it from `node_modules` in the project before looking at global node modules. – Aaron Stuyvenberg May 17 '21 at 13:08
what does -d means in the npm install command? – Owais Aslam Feb 25 '22 at 12:34
It instructs npm to install the specified package as a development dependency, one not needed for the application in production (like a test suite, or in this case, serverless framework). – Aaron Stuyvenberg Feb 25 '22 at 15:40
