Understanding Volta | Volta

Pinning Node engines

The volta pin command allows you to choose your Node engine and package manager versions for a project:

volta pin [email protected]
volta pin [email protected]

Volta stores this in your package.json so you can commit your choice of tools to version control:

"volta": {
  "node": "18.19.0",
  "yarn": "1.19.2"
}

This way, everyone who uses Volta to work on the project automatically gets the same version you selected.

node --version # 18.19.0
yarn --version # 1.19.2

Installing Node engines

you can select an exact version of node to be your default version:

volta install node@18

success: installed and set [email protected] (with [email protected]) as default
