          Override the architecture of the installed Node binary. Defaults to arch of fnm binary

          [env: FNM_ARCH]

      --version-file-strategy <VERSION_FILE_STRATEGY>
          A strategy for how to resolve the Node version. Used whenever `fnm use` or `fnm install` is called without a version, or when `--use-on-cd` is configured on evaluation

          [env: FNM_VERSION_FILE_STRATEGY]
          [default: local]

          Possible values:
          - local:     Use the local version of Node defined within the current directory
          - recursive: Use the version of Node defined within the current directory and all parent directories

      --corepack-enabled
          Enable corepack support for each new installation. This will make fnm call `corepack enable` on every Node.js installation. For more information about corepack see https://nodejs.org/api/corepack.html

          [env: FNM_COREPACK_ENABLED]
