In the lastest nodejs version the Buffer() constructor has been deprecated
DEP0005: Buffer() constructor# Type: Runtime (supports –pending-deprecation) The Buffer() function and new Buffer() constructor are deprecated due to API usability issues that can potentially lead to accidental security issues. As an alternative, use of the following methods of constructing Buffer objects is strongly recommended: Buffer.alloc(size[, fill[, encoding]]) - Create a Buffer with initialized memory. Buffer.allocUnsafe(size) - Create a Buffer with uninitialized memory. Buffer.allocUnsafeSlow(size) - Create a Buffer with uninitialized memory. Buffer.from(array) - Create a Buffer with a copy of array Buffer.from(arrayBuffer[, byteOffset[, length]]) - Create a Buffer that wraps the given arrayBuffer. Buffer.from(buffer) - Create a Buffer that copies buffer. Buffer.from(string[, encoding]) - Create a Buffer that copies string. As of v10.0.0, a deprecation warning is printed at runtime when –pending-deprecation is used or when the calling code is outside node_modules in order to better target developers, rather than users.
how to switch diffirent versions
use module n
1 | npm install n -g |
Usesudo n versionto install specific version
And use sudo nto switch
Howerver if you try to install a older version while a new version has been installed, the new one will be uninstalled.
what if n doesn’t work One reason causing this maybe the diffirence between n’s path, which is /usr/local and node’s installtion path, while you can use which node to check.
Then you can set environment value to solve this problem.
