NVMekäskude

NVMekäskude refers to the set of commands used by the Node Version Manager (NVM) to manage multiple Node.js versions in a user’s environment. NVM is a script-based tool commonly used on Unix-like systems; Windows users can use a corresponding tool called nvm-windows. The commands allow installing, switching between, and organizing different Node.js versions without system-wide changes.

Common workflow and commands: to install a version, use nvm install <version>; to switch the active version in the current shell, use nvm use <version>; to see which versions are installed, use nvm ls; to view versions available for download, use nvm ls-remote; to display the currently active version, use nvm current. You can create and manage shortcuts with nvm alias <name> <version> and remove them with nvm unalias <name>. To make a version the default for new shells, use nvm alias default <version>. You can remove an installed version with nvm uninstall <version>. For running commands with a specific version, use nvm run <version> -- <command> or nvm exec <version> <command>. The command nvm which <version> prints the path to the node executable for that version, and nvm cache clear removes cached download tarballs. The tool’s own version can be checked with nvm --version.

Notes and usage considerations: nvm commands affect the current shell session; to persist a preferred version across sessions, set a default alias as described above. On Windows, use the nvm-windows implementation, which provides a similar command surface. See also Node.js and the NVM project documentation for platform-specific details and latest options.
