is a simple tool to manage multiple node.js version for each projects.
In this article, I would like to show some tips to use nvm.
If you use macOS and Homebrew, please run the following command:
brew install nvm
mkdir ~/.nvm
Or if you use Linux, you can use the install script using cURL:
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.8/install.sh | bash
Please Install the LTS version of Node.js to set default version.
nvm install --lts
If you use nvm and you put .nvmrc, you can use specific version of node.js.
.nvmrc specifies Node.js version in your project.
cd /path/to/project
echo "8.9.4" > .nvmrc
nvm use
Found '/path/to/project/.nvmrc' with version <9.4.0>
If you want to call automatically nvm use when you enter the directory, please write the following code in your ~/.zshrc
# NVM
export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "/opt/homebrew/opt/nvm/nvm.sh" ] && . "/opt/homebrew/opt/nvm/nvm.sh"
[ -s "/opt/homebrew/opt/nvm/etc/bash_completion.d/nvm" ] && . "/opt/homebrew/opt/nvm/etc/bash_completion.d/nvm"
# NVM / automatically load
autoload -U add-zsh-hook
load-nvmrc() {
local node_version="$(nvm version)"
local nvmrc_path="$(nvm_find_nvmrc)"
if [ -n "$nvmrc_path" ]; then
local nvmrc_node_version=$(nvm version "$(cat "${nvmrc_path}")")
if [ "$nvmrc_node_version" = "N/A" ]; then
nvm install
elif [ "$nvmrc_node_version" != "$node_version" ]; then
nvm use
fi
elif [ "$node_version" != "$(nvm version default)" ]; then
echo "Reverting to nvm default version"
nvm use default
fi
}
