How to install local version specified in .npm-version?

[ChocolateLoverRaj]

I downloaded this repo which has a .node-version file, which said 10.20.0. How do I tell nodist to install the version specified in the .node-version file? I did nodist --help but it didn't show any commands to do that. I ended up doing nodist local 10.20.0. This isn't very convenient because I have to open the file myself and type that version into the nodist command.

nodist + 10.20.0

Or you can try removing the .node-version file and see if the dependencies work with a supported version of Node. What I've generally found is I must say npm install --legacy-peer-deps to get past incompatible dependencies, then often it works just fine. If this doesn't work, no harm done, delete node_modules and package-lock.json, restore .node-version and use the specified version.

So I guess what I'm requesting is a command that reads from the existing .node-version and installs it.

In PowerShell, just print .node-versions and append it to nodist add would work.

nodist add @(Get-Content .\.node-version); nodist npm match

Ok I will read the file and input it to nodist add. Basically I made this issue to see if there was a command (or request a command) to do this as part of nodist. If it isn't going to be implemented, this issue can be closed.
