# Please upgrade Node [![](http://img.shields.io/npm/dm/please-upgrade-node.svg?style=flat)](https://www.npmjs.org/package/please-upgrade-node) [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/typicode/please-upgrade-node.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/typicode/please-upgrade-node) [![npm](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/please-upgrade-node.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/please-upgrade-node)
> :information_desk_person: show a message to your users to upgrade Node instead of a stacktrace
It's common for new Node users to miss or not understand engines warning when installing a CLI. This package displays a beginner-friendly message if their Node version is below the one expected.
```sh
$ node -v
0.12
$ modern-cli
modern-cli requires at least version 6 of Node, please upgrade
```
## Support
If you like this project, you can support me on [GitHub Sponsors](https://github.com/users/typicode/sponsorship)
## Usage
```sh
npm install please-upgrade-node
```
Add `please-upgrade-node` at the top of your CLI
```js
#!/usr/bin/env node
const pkg = require('./package.json')
require('please-upgrade-node')(pkg) // <- Must run BEFORE requiring any other modules
// ...
```
Set in your `package.json` the required Node version
```js
{
"engines": {
"node": ">=6"
}
}
```
__Important__: `>=` is the only operator supported by `please-upgrade-node` (e.g. `>=6`, `>=6.0`, `>=6.0.0`).
## Options
You can set custom `exitCode` and `message` function if needed
```js
pleaseUpgradeNode(pkg, {
exitCode: 0, // Default: 1
message: function(requiredVersion) {
return 'Oops this program require Node ' + requiredVersion
}
})
```
__Important__: to keep `message` function compatible with older versions of Node, avoid using ES6 features like `=>` or string interpolation.
