  Installing with Node Version Manager (nvm)

  edit move example delete share

  6

  Node Version Manager (nvm) simplifies the management of multiple Node.js versions.

  Install the nvm using the install script:

  $ curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.31.3/install.sh | bash
  

  Then install the latest Node.js version:

  $ nvm install node
  

  You can also install a specific Node.js version, by passing the major, minor, and/or patch versions:

  $ nvm install 6
  $ nvm install 4.2
  

  You can then switch versions by passing the version the same way you do when installing:

  $ nvm use 5
  

  You can set a specific version of Node.js that you installed to be the default version by entering:

  $ nvm alias default 4.2
  

  To display a list of Node.js versions that are installed on your machine, enter:

  $ nvm ls
  

  When node is installed via nvm we don't have to use sudo to install global packages since they are installed in home folder. Thus npm i -g http-server works.

  A better way to install node is to use a version manager such as NVM, because it allows you to quickly switch between different versions of Node quickly.

  OSX:

  1. You'll need to install the Command Line Tools beforehand.
  2. curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.31.3/install.sh | bash

  Windows:

  1. Download the executable of nvm-windows from here

  You can install Node.js using the Homebrew package manager.

  Start by updating brew.

  brew update
  

  You may need to change permissions or paths. It's best to run this before proceeding:

  brew doctor
  

  Next you can install Node.js by running:

  brew install node
  

  Once Node.js is installed, you can validate the version installed by running:

  node -v
