Scoop: How to switch nodejs version?

Created on 3 Jul 2017  路  1Comment  路  Source: lukesampson/scoop

I installed nodejs and nodejs-lts, I want switch Node.js LTS version to Node.js latest.
How to do it? Thanks!

PS C:\Users\garfi> node -v
v6.11.0
PS C:\Users\garfi> scoop list
Installed apps:

  7zip (16.04) *global*
  nodejs (8.1.3) *global*
  nodejs-lts (6.11.0) *global*
  sudo (0.2017.03.24)
  yarn (0.27.5)

PS C:\Users\garfi> sudo scoop reset nodejs
'nodejs ()' isn't installed

reset isn't implemented for globally installed apps, so currently you'd have to reinstall these 2 Node.js versions without --global if you want to be able switch between them.

If you need global installs, currently you will need to reinstall nodejs (withsudo scoop uninstall nodejs -g; sudo scoop install nodejs -g) to use it again. So if you need to switch frequently it might work better to use nvm or non-global installs.

I'm marking this as a bug because we need to either implement global resets or give better feedback in the interface.
