Installing NVM with automatic node version switching on `cd` into a directory for Mac OS X

.node-version

AVN_Setup.md

1. Install Command Line Tools (and install Xcode from Apple's Developer site - developer.apple.com) xcode-select --install (or download from Apple’s Developer site)

2. Install Node Version Manager:
   curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.30.0/install.sh | bash and make sure you add the following to your .bash_profile: source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh

3. Install Node version 4, as well as any other versions you want to use. See Usage for directions on using NVM: nvm install 4

4. Make sure you alias NVM's default to 4: nvm alias default 4

5. Install global Node utilities:
   npm install -g avn avn-nvm avn-n and then setup AVN: avn setup NOTE: You should do this step every time you add a new version of Node to NVM

6. Add .node-version file (like the one attached) to every project directory where your node_modules directory resides. This will tell NVM to switch to whatever Node version is in this file as soon as you cd into the directory.
