node via the command line.\n\n**Example:**\n```sh\n$ nvm use 16\nNow using node v16.9.1 (npm v7.21.1)\n$ node -v\nv16.9.1\n$ nvm use 14\nNow using node v14.18.0 (npm v6.14.15)\n$ node -v\nv14.18.0\n$ nvm install 12\nNow using node v12.22.6 (npm v6.14.5)\n$ node -v\nv12.22.6\n```\n\nSimple as that!\n\n\n## About\nnvm is a version manager for [node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/), designed to be installed per-user, and invoked per-shell. `nvm` works on any POSIX-compliant shell (sh, dash, ksh, zsh, bash), in particular on these platforms: unix, macOS, and [windows WSL](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm#important-notes).\n\n\u003ca id=\"installation-and-update\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\n\u003ca id=\"install-script\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\n## Installing and Updating\n\n### Install \u0026 Update Script\n\nTo **install** or **update** nvm, you should run the [install script][2]. To do that, you may either download and run the script manually, or use the following cURL or Wget command:\n```sh\ncurl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.3/install.sh | bash\n```\n```sh\nwget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.3/install.sh | bash\n```\n\nRunning either of the above commands downloads a script and runs it. The script clones the nvm repository to `~/.nvm`, and attempts to add the source lines from the snippet below to the correct profile file (`~/.bashrc`, `~/.bash_profile`, `~/.zshrc`, or `~/.profile`). If you find the install script is updating the wrong profile file, set the `$PROFILE` env var to the profile file’s path, and then rerun the installation script.\n\n\u003ca id=\"profile_snippet\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\n```sh\nexport NVM_DIR=\"$([ -z \"${XDG_CONFIG_HOME-}\" ] \u0026\u0026 printf %s \"${HOME}/.nvm\" || printf %s \"${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/nvm\")\"\n[ -s \"$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh\" ] \u0026\u0026 \\. \"$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh\" # This loads nvm\n```\n\n#### Additional Notes\n\n- If the environment variable `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME` is present, it will place the `nvm` files there.\u003c/sub\u003e\n\n- You can add `--no-use` to the end of the above script to postpone using `nvm` until you manually [`use`](#usage) it:\n\n```sh\nexport NVM_DIR=\"$([ -z \"${XDG_CONFIG_HOME-}\" ] \u0026\u0026 printf %s \"${HOME}/.nvm\" || printf %s \"${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/nvm\")\"\n[ -s \"$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh\" ] \u0026\u0026 \\. \"$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh\" --no-use # This loads nvm, without auto-using the default version\n```\n\n- You can customize the install source, directory, profile, and version using the `NVM_SOURCE`, `NVM_DIR`, `PROFILE`, and `NODE_VERSION` variables.\nEg: `curl ... | NVM_DIR=\"path/to/nvm\"`. Ensure that the `NVM_DIR` does not contain a trailing slash.\n\n- The installer can use `git`, `curl`, or `wget` to download `nvm`, whichever is available.\n\n- You can instruct the installer to not edit your shell config (for example if you already get completions via a [zsh nvm plugin](https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/tree/master/plugins/nvm)) by setting `PROFILE=/dev/null` before running the `install.sh` script. Here's an example one-line command to do that: `PROFILE=/dev/null bash -c 'curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.3/install.sh | bash'`\n\n#### Installing in Docker\n\nWhen invoking bash as a non-interactive shell, like in a Docker container, none of the regular profile files are sourced. In order to use `nvm`, `node`, and `npm` like normal, you can instead specify the special `BASH_ENV` variable, which bash sources when invoked non-interactively.\n\n```Dockerfile\n# Use bash for the shell\nSHELL [\"/bin/bash\", \"-o\", \"pipefail\", \"-c\"]\n\n# Create a script file sourced by both interactive and non-interactive bash shells\nENV BASH_ENV /home/user/.bash_env\nRUN touch \"${BASH_ENV}\"\nRUN echo '. \"${BASH_ENV}\"' \u003e\u003e ~/.bashrc\n\n# Download and install nvm\nRUN curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.3/install.sh | PROFILE=\"${BASH_ENV}\" bash\nRUN echo node \u003e .nvmrc\nRUN nvm install\n```\n\n##### Installing in Docker for CICD-Jobs\n\nMore robust, works in CI/CD-Jobs. Can be run in interactive and non-interactive containers.\nSee https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm/issues/3531.\n\n```Dockerfile\nFROM ubuntu:latest\nARG NODE_VERSION=20\n\n# install curl\nRUN apt update \u0026\u0026 apt install curl -y\n\n# install nvm\nRUN curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.3/install.sh | bash\n\n# set env\nENV NVM_DIR=/root/.nvm\n\n# install node\nRUN bash -c \"source $NVM_DIR/nvm.sh \u0026\u0026 nvm install $NODE_VERSION\"\n\n# set ENTRYPOINT for reloading nvm-environment\nENTRYPOINT [\"bash\", \"-c\", \"source $NVM_DIR/nvm.sh \u0026\u0026 exec \\\"$@\\\"\", \"--\"]\n\n# set cmd to bash\nCMD [\"/bin/bash\"]\n\n```\n\nThis example defaults to installation of nodejs version 20.x.y. Optionally you can easily override the version with docker build args like:\n```\ndocker build -t nvmimage --build-arg NODE_VERSION=19 .\n```\n\nAfter creation of the image you can start container interactively and run commands, for example:\n```\ndocker run --rm -it nvmimage\n\nroot@0a6b5a237c14:/# nvm -v\n0.40.3\n\nroot@0a6b5a237c14:/# node -v\nv19.9.0\n\nroot@0a6b5a237c14:/# npm -v\n9.6.3\n```\n\nNoninteractive example:\n```\nuser@host:/tmp/test $ docker run --rm -it nvmimage node -v\nv19.9.0\nuser@host:/tmp/test $ docker run --rm -it nvmimage npm -v\n9.6.3\n```\n\n#### Troubleshooting on Linux\n\nOn Linux, after running the install script, if you get `nvm: command not found` or see no feedback from your terminal after you type `command -v nvm`, simply close your current terminal, open a new terminal, and try verifying again.\nAlternatively, you can run the following commands for the different shells on the command line:\n\n*bash*: `source ~/.bashrc`\n\n*zsh*: `source ~/.zshrc`\n\n*ksh*: `. ~/.profile`\n\nThese should pick up the `nvm` command.\n\n#### Troubleshooting on macOS\n\nSince OS X 10.9, `/usr/bin/git` has been preset by Xcode command line tools, which means we can't properly detect if Git is installed or not. You need to manually install the Xcode command line tools before running the install script, otherwise, it'll fail. (see [#1782](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm/issues/1782))\n\nIf you get `nvm: command not found` after running the install script, one of the following might be the reason:\n\n  - Since macOS 10.15, the default shell is `zsh` and nvm will look for `.zshrc` to update, none is installed by default. Create one with `touch ~/.zshrc` and run the install script again.\n\n  - If you use bash, the previous default shell, your system may not have `.bash_profile` or `.bashrc` files where the command is set up. Create one of them with `touch ~/.bash_profile` or `touch ~/.bashrc` and run the install script again. Then, run `. ~/.bash_profile` or `. ~/.bashrc` to pick up the `nvm` command.\n\n  - You have previously used `bash`, but you have `zsh` installed. You need to manually add [these lines](#manual-install) to `~/.zshrc` and run `. ~/.zshrc`.\n\n  - You might need to restart your terminal instance or run `. ~/.nvm/nvm.sh`. Restarting your terminal/opening a new tab/window, or running the source command will load the command and the new configuration.\n\n  - If the above didn't help, you might need to restart your terminal instance. Try opening a new tab/window in your terminal and retry.\n\nIf the above doesn't fix the problem, you may try the following:\n\n  - If you use bash, it may be that your `.bash_profile` (or `~/.profile`) does not source your `~/.bashrc` properly. You could fix this by adding `source ~/\u003cyour_profile_file\u003e` to it or following the next step below.\n\n  - Try adding [the snippet from the install section](#profile_snippet), that finds the correct nvm directory and loads nvm, to your usual profile (`~/.bash_profile`, `~/.zshrc`, `~/.profile`, or `~/.bashrc`).\n\n  - For more information about this issue and possible workarounds, please [refer here](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm/issues/576)\n\n**Note** For Macs with the Apple Silicon chip, node started offering **arm64** arch Darwin packages since v16.0.0 and experimental **arm64** support when compiling from source since v14.17.0. If you are facing issues installing node using `nvm`, you may want to update to one of those versions or later.\n\n#### Ansible\n\nYou can use a task:\n\n```yaml\n- name: Install nvm\n  ansible.builtin.shell: \u003e\n    curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.3/install.sh | bash\n  args:\n    creates: \"{{ ansible_env.HOME }}/.nvm/nvm.sh\"\n```\n\n### Verify Installation\n\nTo verify that nvm has been installed, do:\n\n```sh\ncommand -v nvm\n```\n\nwhich should output `nvm` if the installation was successful. Please note that `which nvm` will not work, since `nvm` is a sourced shell function, not an executable binary.\n\n**Note:** On Linux, after running the install script, if you get `nvm: command not found` or see no feedback from your terminal after you type `command -v nvm`, simply close your current terminal, open a new terminal, and try verifying again.\n\n### Important Notes\n\nIf you're running a system without prepackaged binary available, which means you're going to install node or io.js from its source code, you need to make sure your system has a C++ compiler. For OS X, Xcode will work, for Debian/Ubuntu based GNU/Linux, the `build-essential` and `libssl-dev` packages work.\n\n**Note:** `nvm` also supports Windows in some cases. It should work through WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) depending on the version of WSL. It should also work with [GitBash](https://gitforwindows.org/) (MSYS) or [Cygwin](https://cygwin.com). Otherwise, for Windows, a few alternatives exist, which are neither supported nor developed by us:\n\n  - [nvm-windows](https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows)\n  - [nodist](https://github.com/marcelklehr/nodist)\n  - [nvs](https://github.com/jasongin/nvs)\n\n**Note:** `nvm` does not support [Fish] either (see [#303](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm/issues/303)). Alternatives exist, which are neither supported nor developed by us:\n\n  - [bass](https://github.com/edc/bass) allows you to use utilities written for Bash in fish shell\n  - [fast-nvm-fish](https://github.com/brigand/fast-nvm-fish) only works with version numbers (not aliases) but doesn't significantly slow your shell startup\n  - [plugin-nvm](https://github.com/derekstavis/plugin-nvm) plugin for [Oh My Fish](https://github.com/oh-my-fish/oh-my-fish), which makes nvm and its completions available in fish shell\n  - [nvm.fish](https://github.com/jorgebucaran/nvm.fish) - The Node.js version manager you'll adore, crafted just for Fish\n  - [fish-nvm](https://github.com/FabioAntunes/fish-nvm) - Wrapper around nvm for fish, delays sourcing nvm until it's actually used.\n\n**Note:** We still have some problems with FreeBSD, because there is no official pre-built binary for FreeBSD, and building from source may need [patches](https://www.freshports.org/www/node/files/patch-deps_v8_src_base_platform_platform-posix.cc); see the issue ticket:\n\n  - [[#900] [Bug] node on FreeBSD may need to be patched](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm/issues/900)\n  - [nodejs/node#3716](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/3716)\n\n**Note:** On OS X, if you do not have Xcode installed and you do not wish to download the ~4.3GB file, you can install the `Command Line Tools`. You can check out this blog post on how to just that:\n\n  - [How to Install Command Line Tools in OS X Mavericks \u0026 Yosemite (Without Xcode)](https://osxdaily.com/2014/02/12/install-command-line-tools-mac-os-x/)\n\n**Note:** On OS X, if you have/had a \"system\" node installed and want to install modules globally, keep in mind that:\n\n  - When using `nvm` you do not need `sudo` to globally install a module with `npm -g`, so instead of doing `sudo npm install -g grunt`, do instead `npm install -g grunt`\n  - If you have an `~/.npmrc` file, make sure it does not contain any `prefix` settings (which is not compatible with `nvm`)\n  - You can (but should not?) keep your previous \"system\" node install, but `nvm` will only be available to your user account (the one used to install nvm). This might cause version mismatches, as other users will be using `/usr/local/lib/node_modules/*` VS your user account using `~/.nvm/versions/node/vX.X.X/lib/node_modules/*`\n\nHomebrew installation is not supported. If you have issues with homebrew-installed `nvm`, please `brew uninstall` it, and install it using the instructions below, before filing an issue.\n\n**Note:** If you're using `zsh` you can easily install `nvm` as a zsh plugin. Install [`zsh-nvm`](https://github.com/lukechilds/zsh-nvm) and run `nvm upgrade` to upgrade ([you can set](https://github.com/lukechilds/zsh-nvm#auto-use) `NVM_AUTO_USE=true` to have it automatically detect and use `.nvmrc` files).\n\n**Note:** Git versions before v1.7 may face a problem of cloning `nvm` source from GitHub via https protocol, and there is also different behavior of git before v1.6, and git prior to [v1.17.10](https://github.com/git/git/commit/5a7d5b683f869d3e3884a89775241afa515da9e7) can not clone tags, so the minimum required git version is v1.7.10. If you are interested in the problem we mentioned here, please refer to GitHub's [HTTPS cloning errors](https://help.github.com/articles/https-cloning-errors/) article.\n\n### Git Install\n\nIf you have `git` installed (requires git v1.7.10+):\n\n1. clone this repo in the root of your user profile\n    - `cd ~/` from anywhere then `git clone https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm.git .nvm`\n1. `cd ~/.nvm` and check out the latest version with `git checkout v0.40.3`\n1. activate `nvm` by sourcing it from your shell: `. ./nvm.sh`\n\nNow add these lines to your `~/.bashrc`, `~/.profile`, or `~/.zshrc` file to have it automatically sourced upon login:\n(you may have to add to more than one of the above files)\n\n```sh\nexport NVM_DIR=\"$HOME/.nvm\"\n[ -s \"$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh\" ] \u0026\u0026 \\. \"$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh\"  # This loads nvm\n[ -s \"$NVM_DIR/bash_completion\" ] \u0026\u0026 \\. \"$NVM_DIR/bash_completion\"  # This loads nvm bash_completion\n```\n\n### Manual Install\n\nFor a fully manual install, execute the following lines to first clone the `nvm` repository into `$HOME/.nvm`, and then load `nvm`:\n\n```sh\nexport NVM_DIR=\"$HOME/.nvm\" \u0026\u0026 (\n  git clone https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm.git \"$NVM_DIR\"\n  cd \"$NVM_DIR\"\n  git checkout `git describe --abbrev=0 --tags --match \"v[0-9]*\" $(git rev-list --tags --max-count=1)`\n) \u0026\u0026 \\. \"$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh\"\n```\n\nNow add these lines to your `~/.bashrc`, `~/.profile`, or `~/.zshrc` file to have it automatically sourced upon login:\n(you may have to add to more than one of the above files)\n\n```sh\nexport NVM_DIR=\"$HOME/.nvm\"\n[ -s \"$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh\" ] \u0026\u0026 \\. \"$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh\" # This loads nvm\n[ -s \"$NVM_DIR/bash_completion\" ] \u0026\u0026 \\. \"$NVM_DIR/bash_completion\"  # This loads nvm bash_completion\n```\n\n### Manual Upgrade\n\nFor manual upgrade with `git` (requires git v1.7.10+):\n\n1. change to the `$NVM_DIR`\n1. pull down the latest changes\n1. check out the latest version\n1. activate the new version\n\n```sh\n(\n  cd \"$NVM_DIR\"\n  git fetch --tags origin\n  git checkout `git describe --abbrev=0 --tags --match \"v[0-9]*\" $(git rev-list --tags --max-count=1)`\n) \u0026\u0026 \\. \"$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh\"\n```\n\n## Usage\n\nTo download, compile, and install the latest release of node, do this:\n\n```sh\nnvm install node # \"node\" is an alias for the latest version\n```\n\nTo install a specific version of node:\n\n```sh\nnvm install 14.7.0 # or 16.3.0, 12.22.1, etc\n```\n\nTo set an alias:\n\n```sh\nnvm alias my_alias v14.4.0\n```\nMake sure that your alias does not contain any spaces or slashes.\n\nThe first version installed becomes the default. New shells will start with the default version of node (e.g., `nvm alias default`).\n\nYou can list available versions using `ls-remote`:\n\n```sh\nnvm ls-remote\n```\n\nAnd then in any new shell just use the installed version:\n\n```sh\nnvm use node\n```\n\nOr you can just run it:\n\n```sh\nnvm run node --version\n```\n\nOr, you can run any arbitrary command in a subshell with the desired version of node:\n\n```sh\nnvm exec 4.2 node --version\n```\n\nYou can also get the path to the executable to where it was installed:\n\n```sh\nnvm which 12.22\n```\n\nIn place of a version pointer like \"14.7\" or \"16.3\" or \"12.22.1\", you can use the following special default aliases with `nvm install`, `nvm use`, `nvm run`, `nvm exec`, `nvm which`, etc:\n\n  - `node`: this installs the latest version of [`node`](https://nodejs.org/en/)\n  - `iojs`: this installs the latest version of [`io.js`](https://iojs.org/en/)\n  - `stable`: this alias is deprecated, and only truly applies to `node` `v0.12` and earlier. Currently, this is an alias for `node`.\n  - `unstable`: this alias points to `node` `v0.11` - the last \"unstable\" node release, since post-1.0, all node versions are stable. (in SemVer, versions communicate breakage, not stability).\n\n### Long-term Support\n\nNode has a [schedule](https://github.com/nodejs/Release#release-schedule) for long-term support (LTS) You can reference LTS versions in aliases and `.nvmrc` files with the notation `lts/*` for the latest LTS, and `lts/argon` for LTS releases from the \"argon\" line, for example. In addition, the following commands support LTS arguments:\n\n  - `nvm install --lts` / `nvm install --lts=argon` / `nvm install 'lts/*'` / `nvm install lts/argon`\n  - `nvm uninstall --lts` / `nvm uninstall --lts=argon` / `nvm uninstall 'lts/*'` / `nvm uninstall lts/argon`\n  - `nvm use --lts` / `nvm use --lts=argon` / `nvm use 'lts/*'` / `nvm use lts/argon`\n  - `nvm exec --lts` / `nvm exec --lts=argon` / `nvm exec 'lts/*'` / `nvm exec lts/argon`\n  - `nvm run --lts` / `nvm run --lts=argon` / `nvm run 'lts/*'` / `nvm run lts/argon`\n  - `nvm ls-remote --lts` / `nvm ls-remote --lts=argon` `nvm ls-remote 'lts/*'` / `nvm ls-remote lts/argon`\n  - `nvm version-remote --lts` / `nvm version-remote --lts=argon` / `nvm version-remote 'lts/*'` / `nvm version-remote lts/argon`\n\nAny time your local copy of `nvm` connects to https://nodejs.org, it will re-create the appropriate local aliases for all available LTS lines. These aliases (stored under `$NVM_DIR/alias/lts`), are managed by `nvm`, and you should not modify, remove, or create these files - expect your changes to be undone, and expect meddling with these files to cause bugs that will likely not be supported.\n\nTo get the latest LTS version of node and migrate your existing installed packages, use\n\n```sh\nnvm install --reinstall-packages-from=current 'lts/*'\n```\n\n### Migrating Global Packages While Installing\n\nIf you want to install a new version of Node.js and migrate npm packages from a previous version:\n\n```sh\nnvm install --reinstall-packages-from=node node\n```\n\nThis will first use \"nvm version node\" to identify the current version you're migrating packages from. Then it resolves the new version to install from the remote server and installs it. Lastly, it runs \"nvm reinstall-packages\" to reinstall the npm packages from your prior version of Node to the new one.\n\nYou can also install and migrate npm packages from specific versions of Node like this:\n\n```sh\nnvm install --reinstall-packages-from=5 6\nnvm install --reinstall-packages-from=iojs v4.2\n```\n\nNote that reinstalling packages _explicitly does not update the npm version_ — this is to ensure that npm isn't accidentally upgraded to a broken version for the new node version.\n\nTo update npm at the same time add the `--latest-npm` flag, like this:\n\n```sh\nnvm install --reinstall-packages-from=default --latest-npm 'lts/*'\n```\n\nor, you can at any time run the following command to get the latest supported npm version on the current node version:\n```sh\nnvm install-latest-npm\n```\n\nIf you've already gotten an error to the effect of \"npm does not support Node.js\", you'll need to (1) revert to a previous node version (`nvm ls` \u0026 `nvm use \u003cyour latest _working_ version from the ls\u003e`), (2) delete the newly created node version (`nvm uninstall \u003cyour _broken_ version of node from the ls\u003e`), then (3) rerun your `nvm install` with the `--latest-npm` flag.\n\n\n### Default Global Packages From File While Installing\n\nIf you have a list of default packages you want installed every time you install a new version, we support that too -- just add the package names, one per line, to the file `$NVM_DIR/default-packages`. You can add anything npm would accept as a package argument on the command line.\n\n```sh\n# $NVM_DIR/default-packages\n\nrimraf\nobject-inspect@1.0.2\nstevemao/left-pad\n```\n\n### io.js\n\nIf you want to install [io.js](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/):\n\n```sh\nnvm install iojs\n```\n\nIf you want to install a new version of io.js and migrate npm packages from a previous version:\n\n```sh\nnvm install --reinstall-packages-from=iojs iojs\n```\n\nThe same guidelines mentioned for migrating npm packages in node are applicable to io.js.\n\n### System Version of Node\n\nIf you want to use the system-installed version of node, you can use the special default alias \"system\":\n\n```sh\nnvm use system\nnvm run system --version\n```\n\n### Listing Versions\n\nIf you want to see what versions are installed:\n\n```sh\nnvm ls\n```\n\nIf you want to see what versions are available to install:\n\n```sh\nnvm ls-remote\n```\n\n### Setting Custom Colors\n\nYou can set five colors that will be used to display version and alias information. These colors replace the default colors.\n  Initial colors are: g b y r e\n\n  Color codes:\n\n    r/R = red / bold red\n\n    g/G = green / bold green\n\n    b/B = blue / bold blue\n\n    c/C = cyan / bold cyan\n\n    m/M = magenta / bold magenta\n\n    y/Y = yellow / bold yellow\n\n    k/K = black / bold black\n\n    e/W = light grey / white\n\n```sh\nnvm set-colors rgBcm\n```\n\n#### Persisting custom colors\n\nIf you want the custom colors to persist after terminating the shell, export the `NVM_COLORS` variable in your shell profile. For example, if you want to use cyan, magenta, green, bold red and bold yellow, add the following line:\n\n```sh\nexport NVM_COLORS='cmgRY'\n```\n\n#### Suppressing colorized output\n\n`nvm help (or -h or --help)`, `nvm ls`, `nvm ls-remote` and `nvm alias` usually produce colorized output. You can disable colors with the `--no-colors` option (or by setting the environment variable `TERM=dumb`):\n\n```sh\nnvm ls --no-colors\nnvm help --no-colors\nTERM=dumb nvm ls\n```\n\n### Restoring PATH\nTo restore your PATH, you can deactivate it:\n\n```sh\nnvm deactivate\n```\n\n### Set default node version\nTo set a default Node version to be used in any new shell, use the alias 'default':\n\n```sh\nnvm alias default node # this refers to the latest installed version of node\nnvm alias default 18 # this refers to the latest installed v18.x version of node\nnvm alias default 18.12  # this refers to the latest installed v18.12.x version of node\n```\n\n### Use a mirror of node binaries\nTo use a mirror of the node binaries, set `$NVM_NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR`:\n\n```sh\nexport NVM_NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR=https://nodejs.org/dist\nnvm install node\n\nNVM_NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR=https://nodejs.org/dist nvm install 4.2\n```\n\nTo use a mirror of the io.js binaries, set `$NVM_IOJS_ORG_MIRROR`:\n\n```sh\nexport NVM_IOJS_ORG_MIRROR=https://iojs.org/dist\nnvm install iojs-v1.0.3\n\nNVM_IOJS_ORG_MIRROR=https://iojs.org/dist nvm install iojs-v1.0.3\n```\n\n`nvm use` will not, by default, create a \"current\" symlink. Set `$NVM_SYMLINK_CURRENT` to \"true\" to enable this behavior, which is sometimes useful for IDEs. Note that using `nvm` in multiple shell tabs with this environment variable enabled can cause race conditions.\n\n#### Pass Authorization header to mirror\nTo pass an Authorization header through to the mirror url, set `$NVM_AUTH_HEADER`\n\n```sh\nNVM_AUTH_HEADER=\"Bearer secret-token\" nvm install node\n```\n\n### .nvmrc\n\nYou can create a `.nvmrc` file containing a node version number (or any other string that `nvm` understands; see `nvm --help` for details) in the project root directory (or any parent directory).\nAfterwards, `nvm use`, `nvm install`, `nvm exec`, `nvm run`, and `nvm which` will use the version specified in the `.nvmrc` file if no version is supplied on the command line.\n\nFor example, to make nvm default to the latest 5.9 release, the latest LTS version, or the latest node version for the current directory:\n\n```sh\n$ echo \"5.9\" \u003e .nvmrc\n\n$ echo \"lts/*\" \u003e .nvmrc # to default to the latest LTS version\n\n$ echo \"node\" \u003e .nvmrc # to default to the latest version\n```\n\n[NB these examples assume a POSIX-compliant shell version of `echo`. If you use a Windows `cmd` development environment, eg the `.nvmrc` file is used to configure a remote Linux deployment, then keep in mind the `\"`s will be copied leading to an invalid file. Remove them.]\n\nThen when you run nvm use:\n\n```sh\n$ nvm use\nFound '/path/to/project/.nvmrc' with version \u003c5.9\u003e\nNow using node v5.9.1 (npm v3.7.3)\n```\n\nRunning nvm install will also switch over to the correct version, but if the correct node version isn't already installed, it will install it for you.\n\n```sh\n$ nvm install\nFound '/path/to/project/.nvmrc' with version \u003c5.9\u003e\nDownloading and installing node v5.9.1...\nDownloading https://nodejs.org/dist/v5.9.1/node-v5.9.1-linux-x64.tar.xz...\n#################################################################################### 100.0%\nComputing checksum with sha256sum\nChecksums matched!\nNow using node v5.9.1 (npm v3.7.3)\n```\n\n`nvm use` et. al. will traverse directory structure upwards from the current directory looking for the `.nvmrc` file. In other words, running `nvm use` et. al. in any subdirectory of a directory with an `.nvmrc` will result in that `.nvmrc` being utilized.\n\nThe contents of a `.nvmrc` file **must** contain precisely one `\u003cversion\u003e` (as described by `nvm --help`) followed by a newline. `.nvmrc` files may also have comments. The comment delimiter is `#`, and it and any text after it, as well as blank lines, and leading and trailing white space, will be ignored when parsing.\n\nKey/value pairs using `=` are also allowed and ignored, but are reserved for future use, and may cause validation errors in the future.\n\nRun [`npx nvmrc`](https://npmjs.com/nvmrc) to validate an `.nvmrc` file. If that tool’s results do not agree with nvm, one or the other has a bug - please file an issue.\n\n### Deeper Shell Integration\n\nYou can use [`nvshim`](https://github.com/iamogbz/nvshim) to shim the `node`, `npm`, and `npx` bins to automatically use the `nvm` config in the current directory. `nvshim` is **not** supported by the `nvm` maintainers. Please [report issues to the `nvshim` team](https://github.com/iamogbz/nvshim/issues/new).\n\nIf you prefer a lighter-weight solution, the recipes below have been contributed by `nvm` users. They are **not** supported by the `nvm` maintainers. We are, however, accepting pull requests for more examples.\n\n#### Calling `nvm use` automatically in a directory with a `.nvmrc` file\n\nIn your profile (`~/.bash_profile`, `~/.zshrc`, `~/.profile`, or `~/.bashrc`), add the following to `nvm use` whenever you enter a new directory:\n\n##### bash\n\nPut the following at the end of your `$HOME/.bashrc`:\n\n```bash\ncdnvm() {\n    command cd \"$@\" || return $?\n    nvm_path=\"$(nvm_find_up .nvmrc | command tr -d '\\n')\"\n\n    # If there are no .nvmrc file, use the default nvm version\n    if [[ ! $nvm_path = *[^[:space:]]* ]]; then\n\n        declare default_version\n        default_version=\"$(nvm version default)\"\n\n        # If there is no default version, set it to `node`\n        # This will use the latest version on your machine\n        if [ $default_version = 'N/A' ]; then\n            nvm alias default node\n            default_version=$(nvm version default)\n        fi\n\n        # If the current version is not the default version, set it to use the default version\n        if [ \"$(nvm current)\" != \"${default_version}\" ]; then\n            nvm use default\n        fi\n    elif [[ -s \"${nvm_path}/.nvmrc\" \u0026\u0026 -r \"${nvm_path}/.nvmrc\" ]]; then\n        declare nvm_version\n        nvm_version=$(\u003c\"${nvm_path}\"/.nvmrc)\n\n        declare locally_resolved_nvm_version\n        # `nvm ls` will check all locally-available versions\n        # If there are multiple matching versions, take the latest one\n        # Remove the `-\u003e` and `*` characters and spaces\n        # `locally_resolved_nvm_version` will be `N/A` if no local versions are found\n        locally_resolved_nvm_version=$(nvm ls --no-colors \"${nvm_version}\" | command tail -1 | command tr -d '\\-\u003e*' | command tr -d '[:space:]')\n\n        # If it is not already installed, install it\n        # `nvm install` will implicitly use the newly-installed version\n        if [ \"${locally_resolved_nvm_version}\" = 'N/A' ]; then\n            nvm install \"${nvm_version}\";\n        elif [ \"$(nvm current)\" != \"${locally_resolved_nvm_version}\" ]; then\n            nvm use \"${nvm_version}\";\n        fi\n    fi\n}\n\nalias cd='cdnvm'\ncdnvm \"$PWD\" || exit\n```\n\nThis alias would search 'up' from your current directory in order to detect a `.nvmrc` file. If it finds it, it will switch to that version; if not, it will use the default version.\n\n##### zsh\n\nThis shell function will install (if needed) and `nvm use` the specified Node version when an `.nvmrc` is found, and `nvm use default` otherwise.\n\nPut this into your `$HOME/.zshrc` to call `nvm use` automatically whenever you enter a directory that contains an\n`.nvmrc` file with a string telling nvm which node to `use`:\n\n```zsh\n# place this after nvm initialization!\nautoload -U add-zsh-hook\n\nload-nvmrc() {\n  local nvmrc_path\n  nvmrc_path=\"$(nvm_find_nvmrc)\"\n\n  if [ -n \"$nvmrc_path\" ]; then\n    local nvmrc_node_version\n    nvmrc_node_version=$(nvm version \"$(cat \"${nvmrc_path}\")\")\n\n    if [ \"$nvmrc_node_version\" = \"N/A\" ]; then\n      nvm install\n    elif [ \"$nvmrc_node_version\" != \"$(nvm version)\" ]; then\n      nvm use\n    fi\n  elif [ -n \"$(PWD=$OLDPWD nvm_find_nvmrc)\" ] \u0026\u0026 [ \"$(nvm version)\" != \"$(nvm version default)\" ]; then\n    echo \"Reverting to nvm default version\"\n    nvm use default\n  fi\n}\n\nadd-zsh-hook chpwd load-nvmrc\nload-nvmrc\n```\n\nAfter saving the file, run `source ~/.zshrc` to reload the configuration with the latest changes made.\n\n##### fish\n\nThis requires that you have [bass](https://github.com/edc/bass) installed.\n```fish\n# ~/.config/fish/functions/nvm.fish\nfunction nvm\n  bass source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh --no-use ';' nvm $argv\nend\n\n# ~/.config/fish/functions/nvm_find_nvmrc.fish\nfunction nvm_find_nvmrc\n  bass source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh --no-use ';' nvm_find_nvmrc\nend\n\n# ~/.config/fish/functions/load_nvm.fish\nfunction load_nvm --on-variable=\"PWD\"\n  set -l default_node_version (nvm version default)\n  set -l node_version (nvm version)\n  set -l nvmrc_path (nvm_find_nvmrc)\n  if test -n \"$nvmrc_path\"\n    set -l nvmrc_node_version (nvm version (cat $nvmrc_path))\n    if test \"$nvmrc_node_version\" = \"N/A\"\n      nvm install (cat $nvmrc_path)\n    else if test \"$nvmrc_node_version\" != \"$node_version\"\n      nvm use $nvmrc_node_version\n    end\n  else if test \"$node_version\" != \"$default_node_version\"\n    echo \"Reverting to default Node version\"\n    nvm use default\n  end\nend\n\n# ~/.config/fish/config.fish\n# You must call it on initialization or listening to directory switching won't work\nload_nvm \u003e /dev/stderr\n```\n\n## Running Tests\n\nTests are written in [Urchin]. Install Urchin (and other dependencies) like so:\n\n    npm install\n\nThere are slow tests and fast tests. The slow tests do things like install node\nand check that the right versions are used. The fast tests fake this to test\nthings like aliases and uninstalling. From the root of the nvm git repository,\nrun the fast tests like this:\n\n    npm run test/fast\n\nRun the slow tests like this:\n\n    npm run test/slow\n\nRun all of the tests like this:\n\n    npm test\n\nNota bene: Avoid running nvm while the tests are running.\n\n## Environment variables\n\nnvm exposes the following environment variables:\n\n- `NVM_DIR` - nvm's installation directory.\n- `NVM_BIN` - where node, npm, and global packages for the active version of node are installed.\n- `NVM_INC` - node's include file directory (useful for building C/C++ addons for node).\n- `NVM_CD_FLAGS` - used to maintain compatibility with zsh.\n- `NVM_RC_VERSION` - version from .nvmrc file if being used.\n\nAdditionally, nvm modifies `PATH`, and, if present, `MANPATH` and `NODE_PATH` when changing versions.\n\n\n## Bash Completion\n\nTo activate, you need to source `bash_completion`:\n\n```sh\n[[ -r $NVM_DIR/bash_completion ]] \u0026\u0026 \\. $NVM_DIR/bash_completion\n```\n\nPut the above sourcing line just below the sourcing line for nvm in your profile (`.bashrc`, `.bash_profile`).\n\n### Usage\n\nnvm:\n\n\u003e `$ nvm` \u003ckbd\u003eTab\u003c/kbd\u003e\n```sh\nalias               deactivate          install             list-remote         reinstall-packages  uninstall           version\ncache               exec                install-latest-npm  ls                  run                 unload              version-remote\ncurrent             help                list                ls-remote           unalias             use                 which\n```\n\nnvm alias:\n\n\u003e `$ nvm alias` \u003ckbd\u003eTab\u003c/kbd\u003e\n```sh\ndefault      iojs         lts/*        lts/argon    lts/boron    lts/carbon   lts/dubnium  lts/erbium   node         stable       unstable\n```\n\n\n\u003e `$ nvm alias my_alias` \u003ckbd\u003eTab\u003c/kbd\u003e\n```sh\nv10.22.0       v12.18.3      v14.8.0\n```\n\nnvm use:\n\u003e `$ nvm use` \u003ckbd\u003eTab\u003c/kbd\u003e\n\n```\nmy_alias        default        v10.22.0       v12.18.3      v14.8.0\n```\n\nnvm uninstall:\n\u003e `$ nvm uninstall` \u003ckbd\u003eTab\u003c/kbd\u003e\n\n```\nmy_alias        default        v10.22.0       v12.18.3      v14.8.0\n```\n\n## Compatibility Issues\n\n`nvm` will encounter some issues if you have some non-default settings set. (see [#606](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm/issues/606))\nThe following are known to cause issues:\n\nInside `~/.npmrc`:\n\n```sh\nprefix='some/path'\n```\n\nEnvironment Variables:\n\n```sh\n$NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX\n$PREFIX\n```\n\nShell settings:\n\n```sh\nset -e\n```\n\n## Installing nvm on Alpine Linux\n\nIn order to provide the best performance (and other optimizations), nvm will download and install pre-compiled binaries for Node (and npm) when you run `nvm install X`. The Node project compiles, tests and hosts/provides these pre-compiled binaries which are built for mainstream/traditional Linux distributions (such as Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, RedHat et al).\n\nAlpine Linux, unlike mainstream/traditional Linux distributions, is based on [BusyBox](https://www.busybox.net/), a very compact (~5MB) Linux distribution. BusyBox (and thus Alpine Linux) uses a different C/C++ stack to most mainstream/traditional Linux distributions - [musl](https://www.musl-libc.org/). This makes binary programs built for such mainstream/traditional incompatible with Alpine Linux, thus we cannot simply `nvm install X` on Alpine Linux and expect the downloaded binary to run correctly - you'll likely see \"...does not exist\" errors if you try that.\n\nThere is a `-s` flag for `nvm install` which requests nvm download Node source and compile it locally.\n\nIf installing nvm on Alpine Linux *is* still what you want or need to do, you should be able to achieve this by running the following from you Alpine Linux shell, depending on which version you are using:\n\n### Alpine Linux 3.13+\n```sh\napk add -U curl bash ca-certificates openssl ncurses coreutils python3 make gcc g++ libgcc linux-headers grep util-linux binutils findutils\ncurl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.3/install.sh | bash\n```\n\n### Alpine Linux 3.5 - 3.12\n```sh\napk add -U curl bash ca-certificates openssl ncurses coreutils python2 make gcc g++ libgcc linux-headers grep util-linux binutils findutils\ncurl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.3/install.sh | bash\n```\n\n_Note: Alpine 3.5 can only install NodeJS versions up to v6.9.5, Alpine 3.6 can only install versions up to v6.10.3, Alpine 3.7 installs versions up to v8.9.3, Alpine 3.8 installs versions up to v8.14.0, Alpine 3.9 installs versions up to v10.19.0, Alpine 3.10 installs versions up to v10.24.1, Alpine 3.11 installs versions up to v12.22.6, Alpine 3.12 installs versions up to v12.22.12, Alpine 3.13 \u0026 3.14 install versions up to v14.20.0, Alpine 3.15 \u0026 3.16 install versions up to v16.16.0 (**These are all versions on the main branch**). Alpine 3.5 - 3.12 required the package `python2` to build NodeJS, as they are older versions to build. Alpine 3.13+ requires `python3` to successfully build newer NodeJS versions, but you can use `python2` with Alpine 3.13+ if you need to build versions of node supported in Alpine 3.5 - 3.15, you just need to specify what version of NodeJS you need to install in the package install script._\n\nThe Node project has some desire but no concrete plans (due to the overheads of building, testing and support) to offer Alpine-compatible binaries.\n\nAs a potential alternative, @mhart (a Node contributor) has some [Docker images for Alpine Linux with Node and optionally, npm, pre-installed](https://github.com/mhart/alpine-node).\n\n\u003ca id=\"removal\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\n## Uninstalling / Removal\n\n### Manual Uninstall\n\nTo remove `nvm` manually, execute the following:\n\nFirst, use `nvm unload` to remove the nvm command from your terminal session and delete the installation directory:\n\n```sh\n$ nvm_dir=\"${NVM_DIR:-~/.nvm}\"\n$ nvm unload\n$ rm -rf \"$nvm_dir\"\n```\n\nEdit `~/.bashrc` (or other shell resource config) and remove the lines below:\n\n```sh\nexport NVM_DIR=\"$HOME/.nvm\"\n[ -s \"$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh\" ] \u0026\u0026 \\. \"$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh\" # This loads nvm\n[[ -r $NVM_DIR/bash_completion ]] \u0026\u0026 \\. $NVM_DIR/bash_completion\n```\n\n## Docker For Development Environment\n\nTo make the development and testing work easier, we have a Dockerfile for development usage, which is based on Ubuntu 18.04 base image, prepared with essential and useful tools for `nvm` development, to build the docker image of the environment, run the docker command at the root of `nvm` repository:\n\n```sh\n$ docker build -t nvm-dev .\n```\n\nThis will package your current nvm repository with our pre-defined development environment into a docker image named `nvm-dev`, once it's built with success, validate your image via `docker images`:\n\n```sh\n$ docker images\n\nREPOSITORY         TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED             SIZE\nnvm-dev            latest              9ca4c57a97d8        7 days ago          650 MB\n```\n\nIf you got no error message, now you can easily involve in:\n\n```sh\n$ docker run -h nvm-dev -it nvm-dev\n\nnvm@nvm-dev:~/.nvm$\n```\n\nPlease note that it'll take about 8 minutes to build the image and the image size would be about 650MB, so it's not suitable for production usage.\n\nFor more information and documentation about docker, please refer to its official website:\n\n  - https://www.docker.com/\n  - https://docs.docker.com/\n\n## Problems\n\n  - If you try to install a node version and the installation fails, be sure to run `nvm cache clear` to delete cached node downloads, or you might get an error like the following:\n\n    curl: (33) HTTP server doesn't seem to support byte ranges. Cannot resume.\n\n  - Where's my `sudo node`? Check out [#43](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm/issues/43)\n\n  - After the v0.8.6 release of node, nvm tries to install from binary packages. But in some systems, the official binary packages don't work due to incompatibility of shared libs. In such cases, use `-s` option to force install from source:\n\n```sh\nnvm install -s 0.8.6\n```\n\n  - If setting the `default` alias does not establish the node version in new shells (i.e. `nvm current` yields `system`), ensure that the system's node `PATH` is set before the `nvm.sh` source line in your shell profile (see [#658](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm/issues/658))\n\n## macOS Troubleshooting\n\n**nvm node version not found in vim shell**\n\nIf you set node version to a version other than your system node version `nvm use 6.2.1` and open vim and run `:!node -v` you should see `v6.2.1` if you see your system version `v0.12.7`. You need to run:\n\n```shell\nsudo chmod ugo-x /usr/libexec/path_helper\n```\n\nMore on this issue in [dotphiles/dotzsh](https://github.com/dotphiles/dotzsh#mac-os-x).\n\n**nvm is not compatible with the npm config \"prefix\" option**\n\nSome solutions for this issue can be found [here](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm/issues/1245)\n\nThere is one more edge case causing this issue, and that's a **mismatch between the `$HOME` path and the user's home directory's actual name**.\n\nYou have to make sure that the user directory name in `$HOME` and the user directory name you'd see from running `ls /Users/` **are capitalized the same way** ([See this issue](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm/issues/2261)).\n\nTo change the user directory and/or account name follow the instructions [here](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201548)\n\n[1]: https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm.git\n[2]: https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm/blob/v0.40.3/install.sh\n[3]: https://app.travis-ci.com/nvm-sh/nvm\n[4]: https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm/releases/tag/v0.40.3\n[Urchin]: https://git.sdf.org/tlevine/urchin\n[Fish]: https://fishshell.com\n\n**Homebrew makes zsh directories unsecure**\n\n```shell\nzsh compinit: insecure directories, run compaudit for list.\nIgnore insecure directories and continue [y] or abort compinit [n]? y\n```\n\nHomebrew causes insecure directories like `/usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions` and `/usr/local/share/zsh`. This is **not** an `nvm` problem - it is a homebrew problem. Refer [here](https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-completions/issues/680) for some solutions related to the issue.\n\n**Macs with Apple Silicon chips**\n\nExperimental support for the Apple Silicon chip architecture was added in node.js v15.3 and full support was added in v16.0.\nBecause of this, if you try to install older versions of node as usual, you will probably experience either compilation errors when installing node or out-of-memory errors while running your code.\n\nSo, if you want to run a version prior to v16.0 on an Apple Silicon Mac, it may be best to compile node targeting the `x86_64` Intel architecture so that Rosetta 2 can translate the `x86_64` processor instructions to ARM-based Apple Silicon instructions.\nHere's what you will need to do:\n\n- Install Rosetta, if you haven't already done so\n\n  ```sh\n  $ softwareupdate --install-rosetta\n  ```\n\n  You might wonder, \"how will my Apple Silicon Mac know to use Rosetta for a version of node compiled for an Intel chip?\".\n  If an executable contains only Intel instructions, macOS will automatically use Rosetta to translate the instructions.\n\n- Open a shell that's running using Rosetta\n\n  ```sh\n  $ arch -x86_64 zsh\n  ```\n\n  Note: This same thing can also be accomplished by finding the Terminal or iTerm App in Finder, right clicking, selecting \"Get Info\", and then checking the box labeled \"Open using Rosetta\".\n\n  Note: This terminal session is now running in `zsh`.\n  If `zsh` is not the shell you typically use, `nvm` may not be `source`'d automatically like it probably is for your usual shell through your dotfiles.\n  If that's the case, make sure to source `nvm`.\n\n  ```sh\n  $ source \"${NVM_DIR}/nvm.sh\"\n  ```\n\n- Install whatever older version of node you are interested in. Let's use 12.22.1 as an example.\n  This will fetch the node source code and compile it, which will take several minutes.\n\n  ```sh\n  $ nvm install v12.22.1 --shared-zlib\n  ```\n\n  Note: You're probably curious why `--shared-zlib` is included.\n  There's a bug in recent versions of Apple's system `clang` compiler.\n  If one of these broken versions is installed on your system, the above step will likely still succeed even if you didn't include the `--shared-zlib` flag.\n  However, later, when you attempt to `npm install` something using your old version of node.js, you will see `incorrect data check` errors.\n  If you want to avoid the possible hassle of dealing with this, include that flag.\n  For more details, see [this issue](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/39313) and [this comment](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/39313#issuecomment-90.40.376)\n\n- Exit back to your native shell.\n\n  ```sh\n  $ exit\n  $ arch\n  arm64\n  ```\n\n  Note: If you selected the box labeled \"Open using Rosetta\" rather than running the CLI command in the second step, you will see `i386` here.\n  Unless you have another reason to have that box selected, you can deselect it now.\n\n- Check to make sure the architecture is correct. `x64` is the abbreviation for `x86_64`, which is what you want to see.\n\n  ```sh\n  $ node -p process.arch\n  x64\n  ```\n\nNow you should be able to use node as usual.\n\n## WSL Troubleshooting\n\nIf you've encountered this error on WSL-2:\n\n  ```sh\n  curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.3/install.sh | bash\n  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current\n                                  Dload  Upload  Total   Spent    Left  Speed\n  0     0    0     0    0     0      0      0 --:--:--  0:00:09 --:--:--     0curl: (6) Could not resolve host: raw.githubusercontent.com\n  ```\n\nIt may be due to your antivirus, VPN, or other reasons.\n\nWhere you can `ping 8.8.8.8` while you can't `ping google.com`\n\n\nThis could simply be solved by running this in your root directory:\n\n  ```sh\n  sudo rm /etc/resolv.conf\n  sudo bash -c 'echo \"nameserver 8.8.8.8\" \u003e /etc/resolv.conf'\n  sudo bash -c 'echo \"[network]\" \u003e /etc/wsl.conf'\n  sudo bash -c 'echo \"generateResolvConf = false\" \u003e\u003e /etc/wsl.conf'\n  sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf\n  ```\n\nThis deletes your `resolv.conf` file that is automatically generated when you run WSL, creates a new file and puts `nameserver 8.8.8.8`, then creates a `wsl.conf` file and adds `[network]` and `generateResolveConf = false` to prevent auto-generation of that file.\n\nYou can check the contents of the file by running:\n\n  ```sh\n  cat /etc/resolv.conf\n  ```\n\n## Maintainers\n\nCurrently, the sole maintainer is [@ljharb](https://github.com/ljharb) - more maintainers are quite welcome, and we hope to add folks to the team over time. [Governance](./GOVERNANCE.md) will be re-evaluated as the project evolves.\n\n## Project Support\n\nOnly the latest version (v0.40.3 at this time) is supported.\n\n## Enterprise Support\n\nIf you are unable to update to the latest version of `nvm`, our [partners](https://openjsf.org/ecosystem-sustainability-program) provide commercial security fixes for all unsupported versions:\n\n  - [HeroDevs Never-Ending Support](https://www.herodevs.com/support?utm_source=OpenJS\u0026utm_medium=Link\u0026utm_campaign=nvm_openjs)\n\n## License\n\nSee [LICENSE.md](./LICENSE.md).\n\n## Copyright notice\n\nCopyright [OpenJS Foundation](https://openjsf.org) and `nvm` contributors.
