*NIX (Linux, OS X, …)
Use n, an extremely simple Node version manager that can be installed via npm.
Say you want Node.js v0.10.x to build Atom.
npm install -g n # Install n globally
n 0.10.33 # Install and use v0.10.33
Usage:
n # Output versions installed
n latest # Install or activate the latest node release
n stable # Install or activate the latest stable node release
n
n use
n bin
n rm
n –latest # Output the latest node version available
n –stable # Output the latest stable node version available
n ls # Output the versions of node available
Windows
Use nvm-windows, it’s like nvm but for Windows. Download and run the installer, then:
nvm install v0.10.33 # Install v0.10.33
nvm use v0.10.33 # Use v0.10.33
Usage:
nvm install [version] # Download and install [version]
nvm uninstall [version] # Uninstall [version]
nvm use [version] # Switch to use [version]
nvm list # List installed versions
One way is to use NVM, the Node Version Manager.
Use following command to get nvm
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.34.0/install.sh | bash
You can find it at https://github.com/creationix/nvm
It allows you to easily install and manage multiple versions of node. Here’s a snippet from the help:
Usage:
nvm install
nvm use
nvm ls List versions (installed versions are blue)
