npm install loom-truffle-provider 报错

环境

• win10
• node v16.13.2

问题

学习CryptoZombies的教程，于是使用npm安装truffle: npm i truffle -g，结果装了老半天报错了：

关键的错误信息是

608 error error: pathspec '4.0' did not match any file(s) known to git

联系上下文，大概是依赖包中有个gulp@4.0，然而这个版本已经被官方从git上移除了。
stackoverflow上有个一样的问题：https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70563516/npm-install-giving-error-pathspec-4-0-did-not-match-any-files-known-to-git
其中有个回答，提到用node11就好了。那咱就试试。我想只在安装truffle时使用node11，平时还是使用node16，于是引入下一个问题，如果管理多个版本的nodejs?

使用nvs管理不同版本NodeJs

很简单，npm的github上明明白白告诉你了~

• nvm
• nvs
• nave
• n
• volta
• nodenv
• asdf-nodejs
• nvm-windows
• fnm
  nvm我之前用过，不过它没有官方的windows安装包，要通过脚本安装，略麻烦。有第三方维护的nvm-windows，不过我试了一下，安装node11.15.0时报错了，原因是它在下载npm失败了。mmm...那换一个吧，看看这个nvs，官方介绍说是受nvm启发，而且是跨平台的，感觉就比nvm高级，也有官方的windows安装包。安装后，输入命令nvs就可以选择要安装的nodejs版本，比nvm方便多啦~

说明：nvs不能改变安装目录，会安装到%LOCALAPPDATA%/nvs下

C:\Users\fygame>nvs
Downloading [###########################################################################################] 100%
Extracting  [###########################################################################################] 100%
PATH  = %LOCALAPPDATA%\nvs\node\11.15.0\x64

查看node版本

C:\Users\fygame>node -v
v11.15.0

查看已经安装的node

C:\Users\fygame>nvs list
 >node/11.15.0/x64

查看某个版本node的安装目录

C:\Users\fygame>nvs which 11.15.0
C:\Users\fygame\AppData\Local\nvs\node\11.15.0\x64\node.exe

呜呜，安装到C盘了，我C盘空间不大够，那把npm全局模块目录改到E盘吧:)

C:\Users\fygame>npm config set prefix E:\npm\prefix

C:\Users\fygame>npm config get prefix
E:\npm\prefix

安装下truffle试试

C:\Users\fygame>npm i truffle -g

  truffle@5.5.16

前面那个报错没了，但是这个新的报错（看起来似乎是执行一段安装后的脚本报错了）似乎也不影响truffle的使用。
使用下truffle看看

G:\tgit\eth\cryptozombiestrial\oracle\EthPriceOracle>truffle
'truffle' 不是内部或外部命令，也不是可运行的程序
或批处理文件。

G:\tgit\eth\cryptozombiestrial\oracle\EthPriceOracle>npx truffle

Error: Node version not supported. You are currently using version 11.15.0 of Node. Truffle requires Node v12.0.0 or higher.

这...truffle需要node 12.0.0以上... 看来stackoverflow也不一定靠谱。那就装个node v12.22.12吧~安装过程和上面一样。
把node12设为默认

G:\tgit\eth\cryptozombiestrial\oracle\EthPriceOracle>nvs link 12.22.12
%LOCALAPPDATA%\nvs\default -> %LOCALAPPDATA%\nvs\node\12.22.12\x64

重新安装truffle，这次上面那两个报错都没有了！
