How to specify required version of Node.js during installation?

Question

npm

I make a package, I write in TS, I compile in es6. Requires Node.js 6.0.0+ to work.
Is it possible to somehow specify in npm during installation that the node version is 6.0.0+, and stop the installation if the version is lower?
So far, only the preinstall script comes to mind, with a version check.

You can specify the version of node that your stuff works on:
{ "engines" : { "node" : ">=0.10.3 <0.12" } }
