I am trying to update my Firebase CLI installation, in order to use the cloud functions for my project. I followed the getting-started guide, however for some reason, the CLI cannot detect the updated version.
I initialized a project of mine that I have already created via the Firebase console. During the project initialization, Firebase CLI mentioned that my CLI version should be updated, however the complete procedure went smoothly.
Once the initialization completed, I run for the first time (to update the CLI):
npm install -g firebase-tools
Once the updated finished, the command line reported:
firebase-tools@3.18.6
But when I run
firebase init functions
I get:
Error: CLI is out of date (on 3.0.1 , need at least 3.0.5)
I don't understand why this is happening, since the update reported that version 3.18.6 got installed Any hints would be great!
For reference, you can see a snapshot of the command line here.
It looks like you may have multiple versions of node installed in different locations. First, uninstall all versions of node that you may have previously installed. Make sure running node on the command line doesn't execute anything. Then, reinstall everything. After you've installed the Firebase CLI again, check its version with firebase --version.
