be safely run concurrently\n- atomic writes\n\nFeatures include:\n\n- Linux/Mac/Windows support\n- works with old Node.js versions\n- [progress bar](#--progress)\n- using [version ranges](#usage)\n- specifying [a mirror website](#--mirror) for nodejs.org\n- helpful error messages\n- can guess the current project's version using its\n  [`.nvmrc` or `package.json` (`engines.node`

However any Node version can be\ndownloaded.\n\nTo use this programmatically (from Node.js) instead, please check\n[`get-node`](https://github.com/ehmicky/get-node).\n\n# Usage\n\n```bash\nget-node [OPTIONS] [VERSION]\n```\n\n`VERSION` can be:\n\n- any [version range](https://github.com/npm/node-semver) such as `12`, `12.6.0`\n  or `\u003c12`\n- `latest`: Latest available Node version\n- `lts`: Latest LTS Node version\n- `global`: Global Node version\n  - Using the home directory [`.nvmrc`](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm#nvmrc) or\n    [`package.json` (`engines.node` field)](https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package.json#engines)\n  - [Some similar files](https://github.com/ehmicky/preferred-node-version/blob/main/README.md)\n    used by other Node.js version managers are also searched for\n  - If nothing is found, defaults to the current process's Node version\n- `local`: Current directory's Node version\n  - Using the current directory or parent directories\n    [`.nvmrc`](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm#nvmrc),\n    [`package.json` (`engines.node` field)](https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package.json#engines)\n    or\n    [similar files](https://github.com/ehmicky/preferred-node-version/blob/main/README.md)\n  - Defaults to the `global` version\n- a file path towards a [`.nvmrc`](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm#nvmrc),\n  [`package.json` (`engines.node` field)](https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package.json#engines)\n  or\n  [similar files](https://github.com/ehmicky/preferred-node-version/blob/main/README.md)\n\n## Options\n\n### --output\n\n_Alias_: `-o`\\\n_Type_: `string`\\\n_Default_: [global cache directory](https://github.com/ehmicky/global-cache-dir)\nsuch as `/home/user/.cache/nve/`.\n\nOutput directory for the `node` executable.\n\nIt the directory already has a `node` executable, no download is performed. This\nenables caching.\n\n### --progress\n\n_Alias_: `-p`\\\n_Type_: `boolean`\\\n_Default_: `true`\n\nWhether to show a progress bar.\n\n### --mirror\n\n_Alias_: `-m`\\\n_Type_: `string`\\\n_Default_: `https://nodejs.org/dist`\n\nBase URL to retrieve Node.js binaries. Can be customized (for example\n`https://npmmirror.com/mirrors/node`).\n\nThe following environment variables can also be used: `NODE_MIRROR`,\n`NVM_NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR`, `N_NODE_MIRROR` or `NODIST_NODE_MIRROR`.\n\n### --fetch\n\n_Alias_: `-f`\\\n_Type_: `boolean`\\\n_Default_: `undefined`\n\nThe list of available Node.js versions is cached for one hour by default. With:\n\n- `--fetch`: the cache will not be used\n- `--no-fetch`: the cache will be used even if it's older than one hour\n\n### --arch\n\n_Alias_: `-a`\\\n_Type_: `string`\\\n_Default_: [`process.arch`](https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_arch)\n\nNode.js binary's CPU architecture. This is useful for example when you're on x64\nbut would like to run Node.js x32.\n\nAll the values from\n[`process.arch`](https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_arch) are\nallowed except mips and mipsel.\n\n#### --cwd\n\n_Alias_: `-c`\\\n_Type_: `string`\\\n_Default_: `process.cwd()`\n\nWhen using the [`local` alias](#usage), start looking for a Node.js version file\nfrom this directory.\n\n# See also\n\n- [`get-node`](https://github.com/ehmicky/get-node): Like `get-node-cli` but\n  programmatically (from Node.js)\n- [`nve`](https://github.com/ehmicky/nve): Run a specific Node.js version (CLI)\n- [`nvexeca`](https://github.com/ehmicky/nve): Run a specific Node.js version\n  (programmatic)\n- [`preferred-node-version`](https://github.com/ehmicky/preferred-node-version):\n  Get the preferred Node.js version of a project or user\n- [`node-version-alias`](https://github.com/ehmicky/node-version-alias): Resolve\n  Node.js version aliases like `latest`, `lts` or `erbium`\n- [`normalize-node-version`](https://github.com/ehmicky/normalize-node-version):\n  Normalize and validate Node.js versions\n- [`all-node-versions`](https://github.com/ehmicky/all-node-versions): List all\n  available Node.js versions\n- [`fetch-node-website`](https://github.com/ehmicky/fetch-node-website): Fetch\n  releases on nodejs.org\n- [`global-cache-dir`](https://github.com/ehmicky/global-cache-dir): Get the\n  global cache directory\n\n# Support\n\nFor any question, _don't hesitate_ to [submit an issue on GitHub](../../issues).\n\nEveryone is welcome regardless of personal background.
