If you enjoy using this tool make sure to give Corey Butler some love by starring his package nvm-windows.NVM is the easiest and effective tool to switch between multiple versions of Node. So far I think this is the most convenient way of switching between versions. With NVM for Windows, you can easily install and uninstall Node and switch between Node versions. Tip: You can uninstall a Node version with the following command: nvm uninstall 14.17.0. After that switching is as easy as typing nvm use 14.18.0 and we will be switched. I have installed 2 versions so that I can demonstrate to you how to switch between versions, first I will use nvm list to get all installed versions.

You can install node by using one of the the following commands: npm install lts, npm install latest or npm install 14.17.0 (change it with your desired version) to install Node. We are interested in the install command, and I will install the lts (long term support) version and the latest version. In the console we will type nvm to get the list of possible commands. To confirm that we have a working Node version manager let's open our terminal by pressing the Windows button and typing cmd and pressing enter. Confirm the installation and install Node After that the installation will be done, click on Finish to close the installer.ģ.On the next screen you have to select the path where Node will be installed, again I will stick with the default, click Next to continue.

On the next screen you can select the path where you want to install Node version manager, I will stick with the default, click Next to continue.In the installer select I accept the agreement and click Next.Click on nvm-setup.exe and the installer will open up.

Click on nvm-setup.zip and the download will start.Īfter the download, we have to extract the nvm-setup.zip file, and open the extracted map, here you will find the nvm-setup.exe. Let's start by downloading the installer, by going to this website nvm-windows, and clicking on the latest version, in my case, it is 1.1.18.Īfter you clicked on the version, scroll down all the way and you will find the installer. You can use this tool to both install Node and also switch between Node versions. There is an easy tool that will solve this issue, called Node version manager for Windows (NVM). If you are working on multiple projects that have different Node versions, it can become quite cumbersome to keep installing and uninstalling different Node versions.
