Vladimir Kotikov commented on CB-9291:
--------------------------------------

I didn't found any reason for that. Especially due to fact that {{engines}} 
option in package.json doesn't actually restrict Node version (see 
https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package.json#engines), until {{engineStrict}} 
option is not specified (and it isn't).

So the only consequence of {{engines}} presense - the warning message, as shown 
in the report
{noformat}
npm WARN engine cordova-js@4.0.0: wanted: {"node":"~0.10.x"} (current: 
{"node":"0.12.6","npm":"2.11.2"})
{noformat}

Anyway it looks confusing, so probably we may remove {{engines}} totally or 
make it less strict. E.g. {{node >= 0.10.x}}

> Cordova NPM package does not install when Node >= 0.12.x

> Hi
> I am trying to install cordova in version 5.1.1 (also tried some previous 
> versions) using node 0.12.6:
> npm cache clean dep-graph
> npm install -g cordova@5.1.1
> Unfortunately, cordova-js depends on an older version of node (~0.10.x) which 
> seems the reason for cordova not being installable:

> >npm install -g cordova@5.1.1
> npm WARN engine cordova-js@4.0.0: wanted: {"node":"~0.10.x"} (current:

> npm WARN engine npm@1.3.4: wanted: {"node":">=0.6","npm":"1"} (current: 
> {"node":"0.12.6","npm":"2.11.2"})
> npm WARN engine xmlbuilder@2.2.1: wanted: {"node":"0.8.x || 0.10.x"}

> npm WARN installMany normalize-package-data was bundled with npm@1.3.4, but
