• If you are the first time to download, before use, the C:\dev directory is not nodejs this folder, in the input such as: nvm use 5.11.0 after, you will find that the C:\dev directory is more than a Nodejs folder, this folder is not a simple folder, it is a shortcut, pointing to the C:\dev\nvmin the v5.11.0 folder.

• In the same way, we can download other versions of Nodejs, so that we can nvm use 版本号 nvm use 5.11.0 easily implement version switching by command: for example:

• Note: If your computer system is 32-bit, then when downloading the Nodejs version, be sure to indicate 32 such as: nvm install 5.11.0 32 in the 32-bit computer system, can be used, the default is 64-bit.
