    Node Version Manager - POSIX-compliant bash script to manage multiple active node.js versions

  • Was given the advice of visiting "https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm" and installing node.js that way but am still having issues when doing so

  • HomeBrew

    🍺 The missing package manager for macOS (or Linux)

  • Have you tried Brew ? It's like the Apt-get package manager for linux but for mac. https://brew.sh I really recommend using it. It's easy to use, install and update. You can even switch Nodejs versions in case you need.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
