`nvm` allows you to quickly install and use different versions of node via the command line.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Example:**
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
$ nvm use 16
|
||||||
|
Now using node v16.9.1 (npm v7.21.1)
|
||||||
|
$ node -v
|
||||||
|
v16.9.1
|
||||||
|
$ nvm use 14
|
||||||
|
Now using node v14.18.0 (npm v6.14.15)
|
||||||
|
$ node -v
|
||||||
|
v14.18.0
|
||||||
|
$ nvm install 12
|
||||||
|
Now using node v12.22.6 (npm v6.14.5)
|
||||||
|
$ node -v
|
||||||
|
v12.22.6
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Simple as that!
