Install-Node-using-NVM.md

Here's a simple tutorial on installing Node.js using NVM (Node Version Manager) and getting the LTS (Long-Term Support) version:

Prerequisites

• macOS or Linux-based system
• Text editor
• Terminal/Command Line

Steps

1. Install NVM

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.7/install.sh | bash

• check https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm if you find any errors
• Close and reopen your terminal window.

2. Verify NVM Installation:

nvm --version

3. Install the LTS version of Node.js:

nvm install --lts

4. Make the LTS version the default:

nvm use --lts

5. Verify Node.js installation:

node -v
npm -v

For Windows Users

• Download the installer directly from the official Node.js website (https://nodejs.org/en/download) and run it. Or
• Use Node Version Manager for Windows (nvm-windows), found on GitHub (https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows).

Additional Notes:

• List available Node.js versions: nvm ls-remote
• Switch between versions: nvm use
