I have several version of node.js
installed in Linux Mint 18.0. I manage them using nvm
. Because of a project dependency, I need to have version 0.10 as the default version (nvm use 0.10
). As a result of this, every time I start my terminal, I get the following output:
npm WARN deprecated This version of npm lacks support for important features, npm WARN deprecated such as scoped packages, offered by the primary npm npm WARN deprecated registry. Consider upgrading to at least npm@2, if not the npm WARN deprecated latest stable version. To upgrade to npm@2, run: npm WARN deprecated npm WARN deprecated npm -g install npm@latest-2 npm WARN deprecated npm WARN deprecated To upgrade to the latest stable version, run: npm WARN deprecated npm WARN deprecated npm -g install npm@latest npm WARN deprecated npm WARN deprecated (Depending on how Node.js was installed on your system, you npm WARN deprecated may need to prefix the preceding commands with `sudo`, or if npm WARN deprecated on Windows, run them from an Administrator prompt.) npm WARN deprecated npm WARN deprecated If you're running the version of npm bundled with npm WARN deprecated Node.js 0.10 LTS, be aware that the next version of 0.10 LTS npm WARN deprecated will be bundled with a version of npm@2, which has some small npm WARN deprecated backwards-incompatible changes made to `npm run-script` and npm WARN deprecated semver behavior.
How do I suppress these messages?

Answer
You can suppress or quieten NPM via an environment variable:
npm_config_loglevel=silent npm version
This should work in your .bashrc
(or wherever you invoke nvm
):
npm_config_loglevel=silent nvm use 0.10
Or you can set the environment variable globally
export npm_config_loglevel=silent
Different loglevels can be found here – they are:
“silent”, “error”, “warn”, “http”, “info”, “verbose”, “silly”
