Requirements:

• nvm must be installed on your system
• you should have a .nvmrc file in root folder of the project
• install manually the version of Node referred in .nvmrc with nvm install

Configuration:

in ~/.bashrc find lines with:

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"  # This loads nvm
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion"  # This loads nvm bash_completion

change it to:

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" --no-use # This loads nvm
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion"  # This loads nvm bash_completion

if [ -f ".nvmrc" ]; then
  nvm use > /dev/null
else
  nvm use default > /dev/null
fi

In project folder add file .nvmrc
