Validate installed node version (and npm/yarn version?) against engine definition

[voxpelli]

As stated in title – currently only installed modules are checked against the required version ranges, engines are not at all verified against any installed versions.

+1 I installed this package thinking it would check my installed node/npm version. I think the current checks are useful, but adding that last check against the current installed node/npm against engines would be awesome.

Currently we are using this package along with https://github.com/kruppel/check-engines.
I think adding that logic into node-installed-check would make sense and cover all the checks.

I haven't forgotten about this, would like to get it in soon 🙈

Any chance this is still looking to be added?

Maybe an easy way to do this would be to references the version npm that shipped with the lowest version of node, if that data is roughly available.

I ended up making a new package that did everything I needed which checks installed engines and semver of node modules installed.

Right, but isn’t this more or less built into package managers nowadays?
