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 and .node-version files

Installation

Using a script

For bash, zsh and fish shells, there's an automatic installation script:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Schniz/fnm/master/.ci/install.sh | bash

Manually

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 --multi`
```
If you are using fish shell, add this line to your config.fish file:
```
eval (fnm env --multi --fish)
```

Usage

You can always use fnm --help to read the docs:

`fnm install [VERSION]`

Installs [VERSION]. If no version provided, it will install the version specified in the .nvmrc file located in the current working directory.

`fnm use [VERSION]`

Activates [VERSION] as the current Node version. If no version provided, it will activate the version specified in the .nvmrc or .node-version file located in the current working directory.

`fnm ls`

Lists the installed Node versions.

`fnm ls-remote`

Lists the Node versions available to download remotely.

`fnm env [--multi] [--fish] [--node-dist-mirror=URI]`

Prints the required shell commands in order to configure your shell, Bash compliant by default.

Providing --multi will output the multishell support, allowing a different current Node version per shell
Providing --fish will output the Fish-compliant version.
Providing --node-dist-mirror="https://npm.taobao.org/dist" will use the Chinese mirror of Node.js

Future Plans

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
Feature: fnm install lts?
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)
