NVM for Windows is a command‑line tool that lets Windows developers install, manage, and switch between multiple Node.js versions. It provides per‑directory version pinning, automatic installation of missing versions, and fast shim or link modes.
Use cases
- install a specific version of Node.js on Windows
- switch Node.js versions for different projects
- automatically install missing Node.js versions when needed
- pin a Node.js version to a directory for reproducible builds
- manage global npm modules across multiple Node versions
When to choose
- You are developing on Windows and need to test against multiple Node.js versions
- You want a lightweight, native Windows solution without requiring admin rights
- You need per‑project Node version switching or automatic version installation
When to avoid
- You work primarily on macOS or Linux where the original nvm is preferred
- You require Unix‑style symlinks for integration with other tools
- You need a cross‑platform version manager that works the same on all OSes
