This brings blog posts, showcase posts, and newsletter editions into the Docusaurus site. It also adds support for using TailwindCSS inside a container. So this will probably end up being the new freesewing.org site in v4.

title: Using a different Node.js version

Now that you've got Node.js 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.js versions.
|
|
|
|
### nvm ls
|
|
|
|
To see the different Node.js versions on your system, run this command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
nvm ls
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It will show you a list of local Node.js 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.js versions that are available, not just those you have locally,
|
|
run this command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
nvm ls-remote
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It will spit out a long list of Node.js 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.js versions installed, `nvm` allows you to switch between different
|
|
versions. Just tell it which version you want to use:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
nvm use lts/hydrogen
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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!
