Answer 1

You must install NVM or another node version manager, for example n , which has fewer github stars , but it was released later, it can only be installed with npm: npm install -g nand it contains a simpler api.

( nvm install n. , nvm n.)

NVM install script:

`curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.20.0/install.sh | bash`

$ git clone creationix/nvm

$HOME/.zshrc, $HOME/.bashrc, $HOME/.profile:

$ source path/to/.nvm/nvm.sh   

NVM, node , , , .

:

 $ nvm install 0.8
 $ nvm install stable  
 $ nvm install unstable
 $ nvm install 0.9.21 
 $ nvm alias work 0.9.21 
 $ nvm alias legacy 0.8  

, stable unstable.

2014 :

• v0.10.x stable.
• v0.11.x unstable ( / === /).
• v0.8.x legacy.
• v0.9.21 work.
