How can I downgrade Firebase version?

Question

I have installed Firebase version 8.6.5 using npm install firebase. But I wish to downgrade Firebase to version 7.16.1 due to some code compatibility.

Answer 1

Just run:

npm uninstall -g firebase-tools

npm install -g [email protected]

Answer 2

Just run:

npm i -S firebase@^7.16.1

This is the local Firebase package you use in your project and we use -S to make sure we save it in our package.json. It is recommended to save all packages you use in your project. i -S is just a shortcut for install --save.

For your Firebase Tools you use in the console it would be npm i -g firebase-tools@version-number
