The Examples Platform — NodeJS & NVM — How to change node version
1 min readJan 7, 2020
Sometimes you can’t run a project just because your NodeJS version does not match the implicit version required by the project.
To solve you can install NVM. The following is for Linux/Mac OS X. There may be differences in Windows.
After you have it working you can use it by using the following commands:
# To see all the available versions
nvm ls-remote # To see your locally installed versions
nvm ls# To install a specific version in your computer
nvm install 12
OR
nvm install 12.1
OR
nvm install 12.1.1
^-^-^--------> If you don't specify the version, the latest will be considered# To switch to a specific version from your local ones
nvm use 12.1.1
Sometimes, switching from one Node version to another can create some conflicts. In this case, restart your computer.
That’s it.
