Node Version Manager (NVM), as the name implies, It is a tool for managing Node versions on your device.
Different projects on your device may be using different versions of Node. Using only one version (the one installed by npm ) for these different projects may not give you accurate execution results.
So NVM needed to easily change version of node as per your projects or applications.
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.2/install.sh | bash
After installation
open .bash_profile or .zshrc file and add below lines
vi ~/.zshrc
export NVM_DIR=”/Users/apple/.nvm”
[ -s “$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh” ] && . “$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh” # This loads nvm
[ -s “$NVM_DIR/bash_completion” ] && . “$NVM_DIR/bash_completion” # This loads nvm bash_completion
source ~/.zshrc
OR
vi ~/.bash_profile
export NVM_DIR=”$([ -z “${XDG_CONFIG_HOME-}” ] && printf %s “${HOME}/.nvm” || printf %s “${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/nvm”)”
[ -s “$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh” ] && . “$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh” # This loads nvm
source ~/.bash_profile
Now Check NVM it is installed now
nvm –version
