Managing your node version can be handled fluidly with Node Version Manager(NVM). NVM is a powerful tool that can quickly amplify your node environment. Installing and using NVM does not require sudo/admin rights making it extremely accessible to all users within a Managed Server environment.  Visit the Managed Server Plan page to quickly get started!

Getting Started with NVM

Step 1: Download and install NVM onto your user directory.

• NVM can easily be installed by running this command below. 

  touch ~/.bash_profile && 
  curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.32.1/install.sh | bash

  
  

Step 2: Export NVM to your local path.

• Export the NVM_DIR to your local path.

  export NVM_DIR="$(cd ~/ || exit 1;pwd)/.nvm"

  
  

Step 3: Run the NVM scripts.

• Activate your NVM environment by running nvm.sh.

  [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"

  
  

You may now install any version of node that you would like without needing sudo/admin rights. Enter the specific version you would like to have installed within this place holder[node_version]. Please note the command does not need brackets. Example: nvm install 14.17.0.

nvm install [node_version]

Note:
If you want to remove, delete, or uninstall NVM, please remove the '$NVM_DIR' folder. For a user's local path, it is usually ~/.nvm.
