NVM
A POSIX-compliant bash script to manage multiple active Node.js versions via the command line.
What is NVM?
nvm (Node Version Manager) is a command-line tool that allows developers to install, manage, and switch between multiple Node.js versions on their local machine. It solves the problem of version conflicts by enabling per-project Node version configuration and seamless switching, making it essential for developers working on multiple projects with different Node.js requirements.
Node.js developers, full-stack engineers, and DevOps professionals who need to manage multiple Node.js versions across different projects or environments, especially those working in teams or on legacy codebases.
Developers choose nvm for its simplicity, reliability, and deep shell integration. Unlike system-wide Node installations, nvm operates per-user without requiring sudo, provides automatic version switching via `.nvmrc` files, and offers robust features like offline installation and global package migration.
