)Notes
volta fetch <package>
was made into an error because with the switch to usingnpm install --global
directly it doesn't work the way it would be expected to.npm
, we can't reasonably have a "pre-fetched" version around to shortcut.volta install <package>
process would ultimately overwrite it anyway, because we would need to ensure that we were using the potentially new Node version.
