Managing Node.js by using nvm

nvm is the most popular and beginner-friendly way to manage multiple Node.js versions on your machine.

I use nvm to manage my Node.js versions, as it is a great tool, but nvm can be tricky to install so you will need to follow the installation instructions carefully. There is a troubleshooting guide with common issues and solutions at https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm#installing-and-updating.

This is my preferred way to install nvm in macOS, as it is the easiest way to install it:

brew install nvm

For Linux and macOS, download and execute the installation script from the official repository:

curl -o- https: //raw. githubusercontent. com/ nvm- sh/ nvm/v0. 39.3/install. sh | bash

Alternatives to nvm for Windows are as follows:
