Now that you've got Node setup, we can start setting up the FreeSewing
|
||
|
|
development environment.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
But before doing so, let's look at how `nvm` can help you juggle different
|
||
|
|
Node versions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### nvm ls
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To see the different Node versions on your system, run this command:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
nvm ls
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It will show you a list of local node versions.
|
||
|
|
Either the version number, or an _alias_ that points to a specific version.
|
||
|
|
You should see the `lts/*` alias in the list which is what we've just installed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### nvm ls-remote
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To see all Node versions that are available, not just those you have locally,
|
||
|
|
run this command:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
nvm ls-remote
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Nvm will now spit out a long list of Node versions that you can install.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### nvm install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For any of these versions, either local or remote, you can install them
|
||
|
|
by making a note of the version or alias and running this command:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
nvm install <version-or-alias>
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### nvm use
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With multiple Node versions installed, `nvm` allows you to switch between different
|
||
|
|
versions. Just tell it which version you want to use:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
nvm use v10.22.1
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you picked a version that is not installed, `nvm` will simply tell you
|
||
|
|
and even suggest the command you should type to install it. Handy!
