can't install packages because node version is detecting as 0.12.2 instead of 12.2

• Version: 12.16.2 LTS
• Platform: 64-bit Windows

I downloaded latest LTS version from https://nodejs.org/en/download/ as a msi package After installing node I tried npm install but packages show me WARN messages:

npm WARN package.json path@0.12.7 path is also the name of a node core module. npm WARN engine sass-loader@8.0.2: wanted: {"node":">= 8.9.0"} (current: {"node":"0.12.2","npm":"2.7.4"}) npm WARN peerDependencies The peer dependency fibers@>= 3.1.0 included from sass-loader will no npm WARN peerDependencies longer be automatically installed to fulfill the peerDependency npm WARN peerDependencies in npm 3+.

node -v command shows me: v0.12.2

I guess version must be 12.16.2 or smth like this instead of 0.12.2

const { warn } = require('./logging');
^^^^^
SyntaxError: Use of const in strict mode.

You legitimately have version 0.12.2. Node v12 would not give this error.

Found a reason. There are two versions of NPM on my machine, but Environment Path had a reference to old npm in a C:\Program Files (x86)\nodjs path instead of C:\Program Files\nodjs
