can't install 6.9.2...? about nodenv

[osher]

baah. found it.

The versions list is a part of the node-build plugin, typically installed at ~/.nodenv/plugins/node-build.

To install new versions, one must enter this folder, and git pull.

If there is a better / smarter / more integrated way to do that - I'd love to know.

node-build (which is the plugin under the nodenv install covers) doesn't touch the web. node-build uses local definition files (for myriad intentional design reasons).

You mentioned git pull so I assume you installed nodenv via git clone and not via homebrew? Which means I assume you installed node-build via git clone as well? You'll need to do git-pull from node-build's directory ($(nodenv root)/plugins/node-build)

For any git-installed plugins, there is the nodenv-update plugin, which just iterates through all plugins and issues git pull command: https://github.com/nodenv/nodenv-update

Ah, I see you figured it out on your own! Comment-race-condition :)

I would look into nodenv-update for keeping all nodenv plugins (including node-build) up to date.

There is also node-build-update-defs plugin. Instead of updating node-build, this plugin actually scrapes nodejs.org and creates new build definition files. However, you then need to occasionally prune the scraped build defs that were created by node-build-update-defs because as node-build is updated, you'll end up with duplicate build defs (between the ones you scraped and the ones that are continually added to node-build itself).
