At the time of writing it was v0.34.0, so that is version of NVM we are going to install.įirst we will update packages and install build-essential, which should be already installed, but in case it isn't We can go directly to and make note of latest release. Installing latest NVMįirst we need to check what is the latest version of NVM from github. I will show you how to install the latest version on Ubuntu 18.04 although the same steps shwould work on any unix like system. the tool is called NVM, which is shortcut to Node Version Manager.

There is a easy way to manage those versions with a single command and that's what I want to introduce you to today. But the fact is that Node.js comes in different versions and if you used it in past, you might be familiar that sometimes you just need other version, sometimes newer version, other times older version. I am not going to explain why and how it can be used, you can check yourself on.
