Effective nodejs version management for the busy developer
I highly recommend setting up nodejs with a version manager, nvm was and still is a popular option, however, I now recommend and have been using fnm, a simpler and faster alternative to manage my nodejs versions.

Oh My Zsh
I switched from nvm to fnm a few years ago and have never looked back. Zero performance issues and it supports .nvmrc files.

Report on platform-compliance for cargo directories
As a macOS user, it boils my brain whenever I've to type in something like ~/Library/Application Support/org.rust-lang.Cargo/config.toml. macOS users have been begging CLI tools to support XDG variables on macOS too. Setting defaults is a strong indication to the community what should be the "preferred" locations. The defaults defined in your article will invariably lead to some authors saying that if that path is good enough for cargo, then it is good enough for their tool. Even the latest draft RFC acknowledges that macOS should use XDG variables too. I've written more about this here.

Any plans to update Pop base?
Install something like Fast Node Manager from https://github.com/Schniz/fnm and install your Node from there. I work in the software field and tend to use the LTS releases for the TypeScript/React projects I work on.

Nvm or homebrew for Node install
Listing people's recommendations with links below. I'm glad I asked this question. I received a lot of good recommendations. Thanks All! * nvm (https://nvm.sh) - Simple to use and easy to follow instructions with more in-depth configuration for those that need it. Some experienced a slightly slower terminal. Supports nodjs, iojs, and node version per project/directory. * fnm (https://github.com/Schniz/fnm) - Built with speed in mind. It is like nvm, but faster. Also supports node version per project/directory. * Volta (https://volta.sh/) - Looks easy to use and has good documentation. * asdf (https://asdf-vm.com/) - Supports multiple runtimes and tools by adding plugins. Admittedly, is a bit confusing and more than I need right now (Node, Rust, Python, Ruby, etc.) * Homebrew (https://brew.sh/) - Not a version manager but can act like one by installing nvm, fnm, asdf, or others. Some additional configuration may be needed. * Proto (https://moonrepo.dev/proto) - Supports Bun, Deno, Node.js (npm, pnpm, yarn), Rust, and Go. Also good documentation. Setup looks a bit complex to me :/. * n (https://github.com/tj/n) - Supports Node and npm per project. Simple and to the point.

NVM – Node Version Management
I usually develop on Windows so I installed NVM for Windows from here, but if you’re on other OS I’m sure you can find a version that supports it, probably this is the answer.

Has anybody built an offline version of Monkeytype from git on Linux?
Harder option: install nvm , and run ‘nvm use lts’. NVM I’ll manage your nodejs version and let you easily update/switch version

You can handle many Node versions at once and switch them automatically with nvm
If you're working on multiple projects, some might have different node version requirements. This happens a lot for Open Source contributors! Let's see how to quickly switch between them with a tool called nvm and leverage the .nvmrc file to make it 100% seamless! It's available on all OS, including Windows, Linux, and MacOS. Do not get confused though, Windows has its own version, slightly different from the one for Unix systems: - Windows: https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows - Linux/MacOS: https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm In short, they both use nvm as a terminal command, so for basic usage you won't find many differences. For advanced users though, you may notice something. Make sure to read the docs in the README.md file of each repository. I explain everything in a video, if you're interested you can watch it here: https://youtu.be/A-pbv5eKCDc Enjoy nvm!

Awful Upgrade Experience: Use node 11, wants node 14. Use node 14, wants node 11
I am using the official update guide to update one major version at a time. I am also using the best node-angular compatibility guide I could find in conjunction with nvm-windows to manage node versions.
