Description

Hi

I am trying to install cordova in version 5.1.1 (also tried some previous versions) using node 0.12.6:

npm cache clean dep-graph
npm install -g cordova@5.1.1

Unfortunately, cordova-js depends on an older version of node (~0.10.x) which seems the reason for cordova not being installable:

>npm install -g cordova@5.1.1
npm WARN engine cordova-js@4.0.0: wanted: {"node":"~0.10.x"} (current: {"node":"0.12.6","npm":"2.11.2"})
npm WARN engine npm@1.3.4: wanted: {"node":">=0.6","npm":"1"} (current: {"node":"0.12.6","npm":"2.11.2"})
npm WARN engine xmlbuilder@2.2.1: wanted: {"node":"0.8.x || 0.10.x"} (current: {"node":"0.12.6","npm":"2.11.2"})
npm WARN installMany normalize-package-data was bundled with npm@1.3.4, but bundled package wasn't found in unpacked tree
