This post is a step-by-step guide on the recommended method of installing Node.js on a Windows PC using a Node Version Manager, popularly known as nvm.

Node.js is a popular, open-source, cross-platform JavaScript run time environment. It is widely used for both front-end and back-end software development.

If you are a front-end developer chances are high that you have worked with Node.js in one way or the other.

Background

The default and most common way of installing Node.js on a Windows PC is via a Node.js installer. Installing Node.js via this method allows you to only have a single installed version of Node.js at a time on your machine.

But what do you do if you are working on several projects where each project requires a different version of Node.js to run smoothly?

With a node version manager, you can install and switch between multiple versions of Node.js based on the needs of the different projects you are working on.
