You should see it with:

```auto
$ npm ls

```

anyway, if you don’t have a `package.json`, then just remove the local version:

```auto
$ npm remove elm

```

`elm-doc-preview` should work after this.

Yes!!

```auto
 $ npm ls | grep 18
└─┬ elm@0.18.0

```

I then ran `npm remove elm` and `elm-doc-preview` runs fine. (It is awesome, by the way).

A bug was fixed in [`elm-doc-preview@3.0.1`](https://github.com/dmy/elm-doc-preview/releases/tag/v3.0.1) that could make applications documentation fail with `nodejs` versions \< 12.x.
