fnm VS nvm

Personally I like fnm. It’s nearly nvm api compatible, but (at least at the time) much faster. I don’t know if nvm still takes a noticeable time to switch, but fnm doesn’t.

You could use asdf, it uses nvm behind the scenes, which is pain slow. Instead I can recommend using https://github.com/Schniz/fnm. Just follow instructions.

How is Volta different from fnm?

* FNM: https://fnm.vercel.app/

I started with NVM, which is so slow that I'm confused (and maybe even impressed) as to how it's possible to be so slow.

Then I switched to FNM, which is delightfully not-slow.

Then I switched to Volta, because it supports installing standalone "tools" other than just Node, like Yarn and the various LSP servers that I use.

I tried N but don't use it. It seems to have a more "interactive" UI than FNM or Volta, so use N if you like that kind of thing.

I asked #node.js on libera, and they put me `fnm` [1], after being finally being fed up with how slow `nvm` was--haven't noticed any differences other than now things have been really fast.

Author here. A few other Rust projects to note that I didn't mention in the original post I've since found:

- Boa (JS engine in Rust) – https://github.com/boa-dev/boa

- RSLint (JS/TS linter in Rust) – https://github.com/rslint/rslint

- Node version manager in Rust – https://github.com/Schniz/fnm

If you know of any other popular ones, let me know. I'm keeping a list :)

There’s also fnm (https://github.com/Schniz/fnm)

Node.js - I recommend installing Node using either nvm or fnm

You could try nvm. After installing it you can use the command nvm ls-remote to list all available versions and nvm install [version number] to install the desired version.

The conventional way to manage versions in Node.js is through nvm. You add a .nvmrc file stating the version used to the root of your repository and then you can quickly switch to that version. The content of the file is simply the version you want:

npm (Node Package Manager) is a binary that comes with “node” (NodeJs). You can install node using nvm (https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm).

> git clone https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm.git > cd nvm

You can use Node Version Manager (NVM) for this purpose. https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm. It lets you switch to different node versions via CLI. Hope it helps!

Node.js - Usando NVM

We are going to install Node via NVM so that we can easily change node versions and then we will use npm to install pm2.

Ah right, npm7 is dropped in node v16.11. You may want to use nvm and install node v16.10 to get npm7.
