README

        
# [nvm](https://github.com/creationix/nvm) has supported io.js, nvm is a better choice to manage multiple active node.js&io.js versions

# ivm

### Installing Binaries

Install iojs:

    $ ivm 1.0.0

    $ ivm 1.0.1

Type `ivm` to prompt selection of an installed node. Use the up /

down arrow to navigate, and press enter or the right arrow to

select, or ^C to cancel:

    $ ivm

      1.0.0

    ο 1.0.1

Use or install the latest official release:

    $ ivm latest

Use or install the stable official release:

    $ ivm stable

Switch to the previous version you were using:

    $ ivm prev

### Removing Binaries

Remove some versions:

    $ ivm rm 1.0.0 v1.0.1

Instead of using `rm` we can simply use `-`:

    $ n - 1.0.0

### Binary Usage

When running multiple versions of node, we can target

them directly by asking `ivm` for the binary path:

    $ ivm bin 1.0.0

    /usr/local/iojs/versions/1.0.0/bin/iojs

Or by using a specific version through `ivm`'s `use` sub-command:

    $ ivm use 1.0.0 some.js

with flags:

    $ ivm as 1.0.0 --debug some.js
