How to change the node version in meteor up and how to check the installed node my mupx on aws ec2 by ssh

[chetanchoudhary08]

Hi,

I am getting error while deploying the meteor 1.3 and meteor 1.4 project to aws ubuntu ec2.

the error complains about the npm version , saying that the npm version should atleast be 2 and it cannot read /bundle/package.json

In the mup.json file i changed the node version to 6.7.0 and others so that i get the npm which is greater or equal to version 2. After changing i again ran mupx setup, mupx deploy but again the same error, and in logs i could see that the node and npm version are not changed

So i thought of manually logging to the aws instance and change the node version over there.

when i logged, firstly when i ran some commands like meteor, node i could see that commands are not found and when i had ran mupx setup it had successfully set up the system.

So next i installed node and npm to the latest version and i came back to my meteor project.
I changed the mup.json file by commenting on setupNode,because i already have node to my latest version on my aws ec2 ubuntu.

I ran mupx setup, mupx deploy but again the same error.

So the question is how do i actually change my node version for the meteor project and how does mup setup up the environment on the ec2 instance and where on it, as when i logged in i could not see any commad being accepted, So how does the meteor pick up the installed dependencies and from where.

Same here. I think this could be some problem of local node version. When I do:
$ node --version
I get
v7.1.0 //This is the appropiate version for Ionic framework which I also use.

When trying to deploy, at verifying deployment i get the following error:
` x Verifying deployment: FAILED
