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)
