title: How to install a previous exact version of a NPM package?
body: <p>I used nvm to download node v0.4.10 and installed npm to work with that version of node. </p>
  
  <p>I am trying to install express using </p>
  
  <pre><code>npm install express -g
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and I get an error that express requires node version >= 0.5.0. </p>
  
  <p>Well, this is odd, since I am following the directions for a node+express+mongodb tutorial <a href="http://howtonode.org/e84d3e8548d86d90eb82878e4d71dc21f4d63b93/express-mongodb" rel="noreferrer">here</a> that used node v0.4.10, so I am assuming express is/was available to node v0.4.10. If my assumption is correct, how do I tell npm to fetch a version that would work with my setup?</p>
