So, I have Node.js installed and now when I tried to install Mongoosejs I got an error telling me that I don&#39;t have the needed version of Node.js (I have v0.4.11 and v0.4.12 is needed).

How can I upgrade to this version? I suppose I just could install it again with the latest version, but I don&#39;t want to do it before I&#39;m sure that my project folders in the folder &quot;node&quot; won&#39;t be deleted.



Upgrading Node.js to latest version

I just upgraded to Git 1.8.0.1 for Windows, from my previous version `1.7.9.mysysgit.0`. I downloaded the [new version from the Git site][1] and installed through the normal Git installer EXE.

That said, when I fire up my terminal window, it still is showing that I am running Git version `1.7.9.mysysgit.0`. When I type `git --version` from my prompt, the same thing.

I found [this article on a similar issue with Git on Mac&amp;nbsp;OS&amp;nbsp;X][2], which leads me to believe that it has something to do with a faulty `PATH`, but I&#39;m still pretty new at all this (five months self-taught), so I&#39;m at a loss in how to translate this to Windows.

This problem arose when I began a new [Ruby on Rails][3] project and tried to push it up to Git. I added the remote:

    git remote add origin git@github.com:brianscottk/blog.git

then:

    git push -u origin master

I received the following error message:

&gt; *fatal: https://github.com refs not found: did you run git update-server-info on the server?*

Googling that error led me to [this article][4], which prompted me to upgrade, and here I am.

How to upgrade Git on Windows to the latest version

Currently I am using Node.js v0.6.16 on Mac OS X 10.7.4. Now I want to upgrade it to the latest Node.js v0.8.1. But after downloading and installing the latest package file from nodejs.org, I found that system is still using v0.6.16 instead of v0.8.1 when I typed &quot;node -v&quot; in a terminal. Is there any step that I have missed? Or, should I thoroughly uninstall the old version before installing the latest one?

BTW, I know that nvm can help to manage the nodejs package

https://github.com/creationix/nvm/

Is there any way to upgrade the Node.js without using it?

I have googled this problem, but it seems to me that there is no very clear answer to this question for the latest Node.js.

I&#39;m able to update pip-managed packages, but how do I update pip itself? According to `pip --version`, I currently have pip 1.1 installed in my virtualenv and I want to update to the latest version. 

What&#39;s the command for that? Do I need to use distribute or is there a native pip or virtualenv command? I&#39;ve already tried `pip update` and `pip update pip` with no success.

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.stat.columbia.edu/~cook/movabletype/archives/2009/08/upgrading_r.html&quot;&gt;Andrew Gelman recently lamented the lack of an easy upgrade process for R&lt;/a&gt; (probably more relevant on Windows than Linux).  Does anyone have a good trick for doing the upgrade, from installing the software to copying all the settings/packages over?

This suggestion was contained in the comments and is what I&#39;ve been using recently.  First you install the new version, then run this in the old verion:

    #--run in the old version of R
    setwd(&quot;C:/Temp/&quot;)
    packages &lt;- installed.packages()[,&quot;Package&quot;]
    save(packages, file=&quot;Rpackages&quot;)

Followed by this in the new version:

    #--run in the new version
    setwd(&quot;C:/Temp/&quot;)
    load(&quot;Rpackages&quot;)
    for (p in setdiff(packages, installed.packages()[,&quot;Package&quot;]))
    install.packages(p)


Painless way to install a new version of R?

I upgraded my Xcode SDK to version 10 last night and then find I cannot build. 

I&#39;m getting this error:

which did not exist before my upgrade and I&#39;m tempted to revert back but would like to stick with version 10 if I can resolve this issue.

Can&#39;t update Macports (with Mac OS X Mavericks)

I have version 2.7 installed from early 2012. I can&#39;t find any consensus on whether I should completely uninstall and wipe this version before putting on the latest version.

&quot;Soft&quot;-removing old versions? Hard-removing/wiping old versions? Installing over top?

I&#39;ve seen somewhere a special install/upgrade process using a &quot;segmenting&quot; method of Python installations, keeping different versions separate and apart, but functional. Not sure if this is the standard, de facto way.

I also wonder if Revo gets too overzealous and may cause issues with wiping out still-needed remnants, like environment/PATH variables.

I have an existing project, which has `react@15` and all it&#39;s dependencies according to that. But now I have to upgrade to `react@16` along with it&#39;s dependencies. Now, the problem is - there are a lot of dependencies and it is very time consuming to identify version of each dependency.

So, I was wondering if there was a way where I could upgrade the versions of React and it&#39;s dependencies mentioned in `package.json`, without manually modifying the `package.json` file.

I upgraded Microsoft.AspNetCore from 2.0.3 to 2.0.5 and my WebAPI project, although running successfully locally, fails to start in production (IIS). Everything was fine in production until this upgrade. The error message produced in the log directory is as follows:

    Error:
      An assembly specified in the application dependencies manifest (MyProject.WebAPI.deps.json) was not found:
        package: &#39;Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Abstractions&#39;, version: &#39;2.0.2&#39;
        path: &#39;lib/netstandard2.0/Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Abstractions.dll&#39;
    
      This assembly was expected to be in the local runtime store as the application was published using the following target manifest files:
        aspnetcore-store-2.0.5.xml

Could someone explain to me the details of exactly what this means? I assume it&#39;s a version mismatch of sorts, but why is this occurring? I thought the latest stable releases of NuGet packages weren&#39;t supposed to have such issues.

I was able to resolve the issue by downgrading Microsoft.AspNetCore.All from 2.0.5 to 2.0.3, but would like to find a better solution to the issue so I can use the most up-to-date version of this package.

upgrading from MVC4 to MVC5

I am upgrading a large build-system to use Maven2 instead of Ant, and we have two related requirements that I&#39;m stuck on:

 1. We need to generate a time-stamped artifact, so a part of the *package*
    phase (or wherever), instead of building 

        project-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

    we
    should be building 

        project-1.0-20090803125803.jar

    (where the
    `20090803125803` is just a `YYYYMMDDHHMMSS` time-stamp of when the jar is
    built).

    The only real requirement is that the time-stamp be a part of the
    generated file&#39;s filename.

 2. The same time-stamp has to be included within a *version.properties* file
    inside the generated jar.

This information is included in the generated *pom.properties* when you run,
e.g., `mvn package` but is commented out:

    #Generated by Maven
    #Mon Aug 03 12:57:17 PDT 2009

Any ideas on where to start would be helpful!  Thanks!
