Version checking issue with "00 Install npm" exercise about how-to-npm HOT 3 OPEN

I just changed to 4.4.1 in order to complete the workshop, but maybe how-to-npm should allow pre-releases to pass, or give explicit directions to not use pre-release versions.

thanks for reporting this! I think it's just a logic bug in a code:
https://github.com/workshopper/how-to-npm/blob/master/problems/00-install-npm/index.js#L53

I'm gonna fix it.

Hi I got this error when I run how-to-npm verify at "00 install npm" exercise
I have passed all other exercises except this one. Thanks

how-to-npm verify
verifying that npm is installed...
You have version 6.0.1 installed. Great!
Now let's see what the latest version is... wait for it...
The latest npm is:
/home/ec2-user/.nvm/versions/node/v6.14.1/lib/node_modules/how-to-npm/node_modules/semver/semver.js:295
throw new TypeError('Invalid Version: ' + version);
^
