Problem faced: Unable to downgrade node version

Solution: In order to downgrade the node version:

Use nvm, available for download from: https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm

Downgrading Node
After installing n, enter the following command to downgrade to any version of Node:
n .
For example, running n 10.24.0 will install Node version 10.24.0.

For Windows and nvm, the command is:
nvm install .
After installation, run nvm use to switch to the downgraded version of Node.
