For more information about NVM, please see nvm-sh/nvm.

Step 1. Install NVM

There is a serveral ways to install NVM. You can choose one of the following methods.

Method 1: Install NVM using Homebrew

‍NOTE If you already have Homebrew installed, you can skip these steps.

Follow the instructions provided in the installation homebrew to install Homebrew on macOS.

Run the following command to install NVM:

brew install nvm

Method 2: Install NVM using cURL or Wget

Run the following command to install NVM:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.7/install.sh | bash

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.7/install.sh | bash

The script clones the nvm repository to ~/.nvm, and attempts to add the source lines from the snippet below to the correct profile file (~/.bash_profile, ~/.zshrc, ~/.profile, or ~/.bashrc).

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" # This loads nvm
