Node Version Manager (nvm) - detailed guide for correct installation and configuration.

1. If you do not have Git, then you need to install it using the link: https://git-scm.com/downloads

2. After installation, open git-bash and install nvm in one of two ways:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.3/install.sh | bash

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.3/install.sh | bash

3. Then enter the following command in the terminal:

export NVM_DIR="$([ -z "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME-}" ] && printf %s "${HOME}/.nvm" || printf %s "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/nvm")"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"

4. Node Version Manager is now installed and we will check it with the command showing the current nvm version:

nvm -v

Here is a list of commands for fast and comfortable work with nvm:

• install the latest version node:

nvm install node

• install the required version node:

nvm install 10.14.0

• set the required version by default:

nvm alias default "version of node"

• install the latest version npm with nvm:

nvm install-latest-npm

• list of installed version node:

nvm ls

Fix errors

If you have not saved any changes after closing git-bash, then you need to manually make changes to the .bash_profile file (it may be called differently depending on the operating system)

Open this file and add the following lines to the end of it:

export NVM_DIR="$([ -z "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME-}" ] && printf %s "${HOME}/.nvm" || printf %s "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/nvm")"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"

After adding them, further changes to nvm in git-bash will be saved.
