rbenv, but for node.
To install the latest stable release:
git clone -b v0.2.2 https://github.com/wfarr/nodenv.git ~/.nodenv
Then add the following to your shell config at the end:
export PATH="$HOME/.nodenv/bin:$PATH"
eval "(nodenv init -)"
» nodenv help
Usage: nodenv <command> [<args>]
Some useful nodenv commands are:
exec Execute a command from a particular NodeJS version.
shell Set NODENV_VERSION for the lifetime of a shell.
local Persist the preferred NodeJS version in the cwd.
global Persist the preferred NodeJS default version.
install Install a version of NodeJS.
uninstall Uninstall a version of NodeJS.
version Show the current NodeJS version.
versions Display all versions of NodeJS installed in `${NODENV_ROOT}/versions/*'.
rehash Rehash nodenv shims (run this after installing executables)
See `nodenv help <command>' for information on a specific command.
This library was heavily, heavily, heavily inspired by @sstephenson's rbenv and ruby-build projects. A few ideas were also taken from nvm.
A number of patterns and utilities are borrowed from that project, and it is my hope that nodenv provides the same simplicity, elegance, and usability that I've come to love in rbenv and ruby-build for NodeJS users.
