title: Use specific Node version in combination with specific npm version
body: <p>For a client's web project I work with two other developers. The frontend is built with quite a setup (gulp, foundation, bower, ...) and started a few years ago. They both use a (never updated) </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>combination of <strong>Node v6.12.2 and npm v5.6.0</strong>.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>As I had Node v10.x on my machine and the first attempts of running <code>npm install</code> after cloning the project failed, I'd like to use the exact same setup:</p>
  
  <p>I setup nvm to use v6.12.2</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ \projectfolder nvm use v6.12.2 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The Terminal then states:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Now using node v6.12.2 (npm v3.10.10)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I tell my setup to use npm@5.6.0 along with node v6.12.2? I tried <code>npm install npm@5.6.0</code> which then changes the used npm version, but also changes the used node version back. </p>
  
  <p>I know nvm installs the respective npm version along with the node version. But is there a way to work with <strong>exactly this combination of versions</strong> the other developers use in my project? </p>
