Installing nvm

Step 1: Install nvm

nvm (Node Version Manager) lets you install and manage multiple Node.js versions easily.

https://nodejs.org/en/download

Install nvm using the official install script:

# Download and install nvm:
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.3/install.sh | bash

# in lieu of restarting the shell
\. "$HOME/.nvm/nvm.sh"

# Download and install Node.js:
nvm install 24

# Verify the Node.js version:
node -v # Should print "v24.1.0".
nvm current # Should print "v24.1.0".

# Verify npm version:
npm -v # Should print "11.3.0".

After installation, add the following to your shell profile (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, etc.):

\. "$HOME/.nvm/nvm.sh"

Restart your terminal or run the above manually, then verify:

nvm --version

Step 2: Install Node.js

Once nvm is set up, install the latest LTS version of Node.js:

nvm install --lts
nvm use --lts

Verify:

node --version
npm --version

install latest npm:

# npm install -g npm@11.4.1
npm install -g npm@latest
