Use NVM for node multi-version management

NVM is similar to Python's virtualenv and Ruby's RVM.
The NVM (Node version manager,node multiple version manager) is a generic term that has many different implementations. Usually we say that NVM refers to HTTPS://GITHUB.COM/CREATIONIX/NVM or https://github.com/visionmedia/n. Both of these tools are written using the shell.

N

Personal feeling N is more concise, it has only one script file.

Installation

If you already have NPM installed, you can execute the command directly to install N:

$ npm install -g n

Or just get the source code installed:

$ git clone https://github.com/visionmedia/n.git$ cd n$ [sudo] make install

Use

Run the n command directly to see all installed versions.

$ n

Run command N to install the specified version of node. Version can be stable (the latest stable version), latest (the latest version), or a specific version number.

$ n stableinstall : v0.10.24mkdir : /usr/local/n/versions/0.10.24fetch : http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.24/node-v0.10.24-linux-x64.tar.gz

The specified version will be installed in the/usr/local/n/versions directory.

Run command n RM to delete the specified version of node that has been installed.

Run command n use to select node with the specified version.

NVM installation

$ git clone https://github.com/creationix/nvm.git ~/.nvm$ source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh

Use

To view the installed version:

$ nvm ls

To view the versions that can be installed:

Install the specified version:

$ nvm install <version>

The specified version will be installed directly in the directory where the NVM program is located.

Delete the specified version:
