How to create ember 2.8.0 project

I'm trying to create a ember 2.8.0 project.

Ember.js docs doesn't help me in creating a version specific project. : (

A few questions were asked in stackoverflow regarding this topic and those answers were not working as none of them are accepted answers.

Can someone help me out ?

Solution

  • You have two options to create an Ember project with an old version:

    1. Install that specific version globally.
    2. Use npx to run ember-cli with that version once.

    I would recommend the second option as having an outdated Ember CLI version installed globally could get confusing.

    The command looks like this:

    npx ember-cli@<version> new <application-name>

    Using latest v2.8 release and calling the application my-app the command looks like this:

    npx ember-cli@~2.8.0 new my-app

    You could set any options that you like. For example if you want to use yarn as package manager you could run it like:

    npx ember-cli@~2.8.0 new my-app --yarn
