A Node version manager for the windows folks out there. Inspired by n.
Install node and npm at once, using the msi installer.
Install nodist globally. That's all!
npm install -g nodistA node version manager for windows
Usage:
nodist List all installed node versions.
nodist list
nodist ls
nodist <version> Use the specified node version globally (downloads the executable, if necessary).
nodist add <version> Download the specified node version.
nodist + <version>
nodist rm <version> Uninstall the specified node version.
nodist - <version>
nodist run <version> -- <file> Run <file> with the specified node version (downloads the executable, if necessary).
nodist r <version> -- <file>
nodist bin <version> Get the path to the specified node version (downloads the executable, if necessary).
nodist --help Display this help
nodist -v Display nodist version
Examples:
nodist 0.8.1 Use node v0.8.1 globally
nodist v0.5.10 Use node v0.5.10 globally
nodist r v0.8.1 -- foo.js -s Run `foo.js -s` with node v0.8.1, regardless of the global version
nodist - 0.5.10 Uninstall node v0.5.10
nodist latest Use the latest available node version globally
nodist stores your node executables in <NPM_PREFIX>\node_modules\nodist\v\, from there it can see what's installed and activate previously installed versions when nodist <version> is invoked again.
When a version is activated, nodist copies it to <NPM_PREFIX>\node.exe. This path may be altered using the NODIST_PREFIX env variable.
As the global node version will be subject to change, nodist comes with its own node version and command line files.
The name nodist was chosen to emphasise the puristic approach of implementing a node version manager and is not to be confused with the term 'nudist'. It was never my intention to make a connection between these two subjects by giving this program a similar name. What did you think?!
