Use multiple versions of NodeJS on the same computer

Method 1 – Using NVM:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install wget 
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.36.0/install.sh | bash
nvm install --lts # install the latest LTS version of node js
nvm use --lts # use the latest LTS version of nodejs 
node --version
npm --version

Add the following lines to your ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc:

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"  # This loads nvm
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion"  # This loads nvm bash_completion

source ~/.bashrc

Finally, use nvm to install the latest version of node:

nvm install node
nvm use node
node --version
v14.13.0
npm --version
6.14.8
nvm list
nvm help

Method 2 – Using apt and just install the latest version of node

sudo apt install nodejs
Add to my src(0)
