NVM (Node Version Manager) Installation Guide

This guide provides all the key information and getting-started instructions after installing NVM (Node Version Manager) via DeploySage-CLI.

Getting Started: Installing Node.js​

NVM is installed, but you don't have a version of Node.js yet. Your first step is to install a Node.js version. The latest Long-Term Support (LTS) version is usually the best choice.

# Install the latest LTS version of Node.js
nvm install --lts

# After installation, NVM will automatically use the new version.
# Verify the installation:
node -v
npm -v

Core Commands​

NVM allows you to easily manage multiple Node.js versions.

# List all available remote versions
nvm ls-remote

# Install a specific version
nvm install 20.11.0

# List all locally installed versions
nvm ls

# Switch to another installed version
nvm use 20.11.0

# Set a default version for new shells
nvm alias default 20.11.0
