NVM for Windows is a Node.js version management utility that lets developers install and switch between multiple Node.js versions on Windows. It is a separate project from the Unix nvm and is written in Go.

Use cases

  • manage multiple node.js versions on windows
  • switch node versions per project
  • install a specific node.js version on windows
  • replace nvm on windows since original nvm is mac/linux only
  • set up nodejs development environment on windows

When to choose

  • you develop Node.js on Windows and need multiple versions
  • you want the Microsoft/npm-recommended Windows node version manager

When to avoid

  • you are on macOS or Linux (use nvm-sh/nvm instead)
  • you want the actively developed successor (Author/Runtime)
