# Node Version Manager
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
First you'll need to make sure your system has a c++ compiler. For OSX, XCode will work, for Ubuntu, the build-essential and libssl-dev packages work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To install create a folder somewhere in your filesystem with the "`nvm.sh`" file inside it. I put mine in a folder called "`.nvm`".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Or if you have `git` installed, then just clone it:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
git clone git://github.com/creationix/nvm.git ~/.nvm
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To activate nvm, you need to source it from your bash shell
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
. ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To download, install, and use the v0.2.5 release of node do this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
nvm install v0.2.5
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And then in any new shell just use the installed version:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
nvm use v0.2.5
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to see what versions you have installed issue:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
nvm ls
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To restore your PATH, you can deactivate it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
nvm deactivate
|
|
|
|
|
|
