nvm Usage Basics

Install, switch, and list Node.js versions using core nvm commands.

Workflow

  1. List available remote versions:

    bash
    nvm ls-remote              # All available versions
nvm ls-remote --lts        # Only LTS releases
nvm ls-remote | grep v20   # Filter specific major version

  2. Install a Node version:

    bash
    nvm install 20             # Latest v20.x
nvm install 20.11.0        # Exact version
nvm install --lts          # Latest LTS release
nvm install node           # Latest current release

  3. Switch between versions:

    bash
    nvm use 20                 # Switch to v20.x
nvm use --lts              # Switch to latest LTS
nvm use system             # Use system-installed Node

  4. List installed versions and verify:

    bash
    nvm ls                     # Show installed versions
nvm current                # Show active version
node -v                    # Confirm active version

Note: For default version or .nvmrc, use the nvm-defaults-and-nvmrc skill. LTS is recommended for production stability.
