Fetched and Node version numbers.
chainhead opened this issue · 1 comments
Can you please explain the co-relation between the version number in fetched-vx.y.z and Node versions? The documentation has an example for arm64, node v8.11.3 on linux where, the binary being downloaded is fetched-v14.0.0-linux-armv6. It is then renamed to fetched-v8.11.3-linux-arm64.
How do we know that v14.0.0 of the pre-built binary maps to v8.11.3 NodeJS version? Specifically, in my case, my NodeJS version is 10.21.0 and I need the pre-built binary for armv6. Can I therefore, download v14.4.0 and rename it to v10.21.0 NodeJS version?
@chainhead The example in readme has a typo. You should keep the name of the file downloaded, you can just rename it in case there isn't a version you are looking for so you can use the latest major that you find here.
Example:
You would like to use node 14.4.0 but the latest available here is 14.1.0. You could try to use that and rename it to 14.4.0 and it should work
