fnm is a fast, single‑binary command‑line tool for managing multiple Node.js versions. It is written in Rust and works on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Use cases
- install a specific Node.js version on a development machine
- switch between Node.js versions for different projects
- automatically use the version defined in a .nvmrc or .node-version file
- set up Node.js versions in CI pipelines quickly
- manage multiple Node.js versions without relying on nvm
- use a lightweight, single‑file installer for Node.js version management
When to choose
- You need a fast, low‑overhead Node.js version manager.
- You prefer a single binary with no runtime dependencies.
- You work across Linux, macOS, and Windows and want consistent behavior.
- You want seamless integration with .nvmrc/.node-version files.
When to avoid
- You require a graphical UI for managing Node.js versions.
- You are already deeply integrated with nvm and need its specific features.
- You need a version manager that integrates with a specific IDE plugin that only supports nvm.
