Fast Node Manager (fnm)

🚀 Fast and simple Node.js version manager, built in ReasonML

Features

✨ Single file, easy installation

🚀 Built with speed in mind

🤔 Works with .nvmrc files

Installation

• Download the latest release binary for your system

• Make it available globally on $PATH

• Add the following line to your .bashrc/.zshrc file:

  eval `fnm env`
  

  If you are using fish shell, add this line to your config.fish file:

  eval (fnm env --fish)
  

Future Plans

• Add a simpler way of installing it (curl | bash?)
• Feature: make versions complete the latest: 10 would infer the latest minor and patch versions of node 10. 10.1 would infer the latest patch version of node 10.1
• Feature: fnm use --install, fnm use --quiet
• Feature: fnm install lts?
• Feature: fnm alias?
• Feature: Consider nvm-like per-shell usage with symlinks on /tmp directory
• OSX: Add to homebrew?
• Windows Support?
• Linux: Replace curl usage with cohttp/ocurl or something else which is statically-linkable
• Linux: Replace tar with a statically linked library too (for ungzip + untar)
