NVM​

NVM is a way to manage different versions of node.

Installation​

You can install NVM through a curl command to the git repo. NVM also adds lines of code to the ~/.bashrc in order to source the NVM and run it upon startup.

Git Bash​

For git bash, you can install NVM as normal but then you must add the sourcing code to ~/.bash_profile as that is what is run at the start of every session instead of ~/.bashrc.

Usage​

You can install node with nvm install node or nvm install <version>.

You can use a specific version with nvm use <version>:

  • nvm install 20: installs node version 20
  • nvm install --lts: installs the current lts version of node
