What's New in Node.js 21
Alternatively, a better way to manage Node.js releases on your machine is to use an environment management tool like Volta that can install and switch between multiple versions seamlessly.

Best practices for HarperDB projects using TypeScript
To use TypeScript you need Node.js installed, be sure to use the latest LTS version. You can check it by running node -v in your terminal. If you don't have it installed, you can download it here, or use a version manager like asdf, nvm, or even volta.

Do you think it is better to default to latest in Nodejs release?
I recommend to use the Volta tool chain manager. Built with Rust, is faster than NVM and allow to pin package and node versions, global binaries and pin project tool versions with automatic package.json pinned versions load.

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.

The next generation node version manager
I literally just started orchestrating a switch for my team from NVM to Volta because of our desire for our Node/npm version Manager to just get out of the way.
-
TypeScript tooling and ecosystem
Prefer Volta over NVM. Much better UX and its inherently cross-platform.

I used n. It was pretty good. I still hated every time I had to change versions and the idea of making dockers for this came with a friend. Thankfully, I don't have that.project anymore

Show HN: Nuño's Stupid Node Version Manager
Nice work, and good on you for taking matters into your own hands.
I did the same thing as you a few years ago, and then shortly afterwards discovered n [0], which really ought to be the go-to for managing multiple versions of Node.js in my opinion.

In the Node world, there are a few options like NVM, N, FNM, Volta, and more. I've been a longtime user of NVM, so we'll detail those instructions for use here:
