How to make one project use one Node version while running another project on another Node version at the same time?

[ashkan-ahmadi]

Hi

I have 2 projects that need to run at the same time, one on Node v16.18.1 and another on v14.2.0. I have followed How can I use two different versions of Node.js at the same time? and it's working fine for checking npm --version but how can I run npm run dev on v16.18.1 on project1 while running npm run dev on v14.2.0 on project2?

Thanks

Update
I've updated the examples in the How can I use two different versions of Node.js at the same time?.

You should be able to run it the same way you'd display the version.

Assuming a package.json file like this:

{
  "name": "tmp",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
    "dev": "echo \"running script from package.json...\""
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "porthog": "^1.0.1"
  }
}

To execute the dev script, run a command like this:

Amazing. The C:\tmp part on the screenshot clarified it, I believe. Then if I'm not wrong, I need to run C:\project1>C:\Users\.....\v16.18.1\npm run dev in one terminal and then run C:\project2>C:\Users\.....\v14.2.0\npm run dev in another terminal, correct?

You can run them in separate terminals if you like, but it's not required unless you're trying to run both processes at the same time.

Amazing thank you very much. I just tested it and it worked flawlessly.
