Managing Multiple Node Versions with nvm

Now, before we dive into the details, let me just say this: if you haven’t already installed nvm on your machine, what are you waiting for?! It’s like having a personal assistant that can handle all of your node version needs without any hassle. And trust me, it’s way better than trying to remember which version you used last time or manually downloading and installing each one individually.

So how does nvm work exactly? Well, let me break it down for ya:

To set the stage, make sure that you have node installed on your machine (if not, go ahead and do that now). Once you’ve got that sorted out, head over to the nvm website and download the appropriate version for your operating system. Then, follow these simple steps:

1️ Open up a terminal window or command prompt (depending on which OS you’re using) and navigate to your desired directory.
2️ Run this command: `curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash` (this will download the nvm script from GitHub and run it).
3️ Once that’s done, close your terminal window or command prompt and reopen it to ensure that everything is working properly.
4️ To check which node versions are currently installed on your machine, type `nvm ls` (this will list all of the available versions).
5️ If you want to install a specific version, use this command: `nvm install v16.x` (replace “v16.x” with the desired node version number).
6️ To switch between different versions of node, simply type `nvm use v16.x` (again, replace “v16.x” with your preferred version number).
7️ And that’s it! You can now easily manage multiple node versions without any headaches or hassle.
