Flexible Node.js and NPM setup on Windows, Mac and linux using NVM
Installing Node.js and NPM without the actual version manager could be very challenging, especially if you are thinking of making some side projects and at the same time you have some sort of an outdated legacy Node.js code that you have to develop a long the way. So to keep things short, NVM is a powerful set of shell scripts that allows to install different version of Node.js and switch between them whenever you want. This is specifically helpful when you need to update your outdated Node.js or NPM version, it just handles all of that. The only thing is that you have to install NVM itself, which is not that hard at all!
Sadly NVM doesn't work with Windows :( BUT Windows fans actually made a similar thing for Windows ironically coding it in GO 😀 can you imagine that? For building Node.js version management, they picked up Go... If you want to know why? leave a comment below so that I can consider making another video explaining basics of Go and why it is useful for!
