Node Version Manager

Question

Node Version Manager

I am trying to downgrade my version of node

I ran:

node install nvm

and I exported the bin folder to my Windows path variable,

C:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs\node_modules\npm\bin

but I still get:

'nvm' is not recognized as a an internal or external command.

Should I be adding another path to my path variable?

node.js
npm
nvm

Answer 1

First off, I use nvm on linux machine.

When looking at the documentation for nvm at https://www.npmjs.org/package/nvm, it recommendations that you install nvm globally using the -g switch.

npm install -g nvm

Also there is a . in the path variable that they recommend.

export PATH=./node_modules/.bin:$PATH

so maybe your path should be

C:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs\node_modules\npm\\.bin

nvm was designed for Linux. nvmw, which is completely different broke around node v0.10.30. Try NVM for Windows.
