Nodejs Setup

Install Node.js using a version manager so you can easily manage Node versions. Follow the section for your operating system.

Windows (nvm-windows)

Download and install nvm-windows using the nvm-setup.zip file
Open PowerShell as Administrator and verify the install: nvm ls
List available versions: nvm list available
Install the current LTS release: nvm install <version> (e.g., nvm install 22.17.0)
Set it as active: nvm use <version> (e.g., nvm use 22.17.0)

Install nvm by running its install script in Terminal:

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

Close and reopen Terminal (or reload your shell profile) so the nvm command is available, then verify the install:
```
nvm ls
```
List available LTS versions: nvm ls-remote --lts
Install the current LTS release: nvm install <version> (e.g., nvm install 22.17.0)
Set it as active and as the default for new shells:
```
nvm use 22.17.0
nvm alias default 22.17.0
```

Note

The curl command above pins nvm v0.40.3. Check the nvm releases page for the latest version and update the URL if a newer one is available.
