How can I install a specific version of jsreport?

We've noticed that jsreport init installs the latest version of jsreport.
We install cli like so:

mkdir -p /usr/local/var/jsreport
cd /usr/local/var/jsreport
npm install jsreport-cli@1.3.2 -g
jsreport init
npm install jsreport-wkhtmltopdf

and expect it to install 1.x version of JS report but we get 2.0 version of CLI and jsreport.
Also what would be the right version of jsreport-wkhtmltopdf for 1.x jsreport?

npm install jsreport-cli@1.3.2 -g

this is good, it installs latest v1 version of cli

to install specific version of jsreport with cli use: jsreport init 1.10.0 (it installs version 1.10.0 which is the latest v1 release)

Also what would be the right version of jsreport-wkhtmltopdf for 1.x jsreport?

the latest version of jsreport-wkthmltopdf which should work with jsreport v1 is 1.4.0, you can install it by using npm install jsreport-wkhtmltopdf@1.4.0 --save

A quick additional question, does the NODE_ENV env var drives only the config file to load or does it also enables/disables some functionality?

bjrmatos

it drives the config file (but in jsreport v1.10.0 you can also configure it to use a specific config for example jsreport start --configFile '/path/to/config.json' or node server.js --configFile '/path/to/config.json') and for what i can remember when NODE_ENV is production it disables file system synchronization when fs store is used (only if the synchronization option has not been defined explicitly).

note: file system synchronization is the behaviour that you get that when saving/editing a template file from your editor (vs code, sublime, atom) it makes jsreport web studio to be reloaded to have the change from your editor in sync.

got it! Thanks again!
