NVS (Node Version Switcher) is a cross-platform command-line tool for installing and switching between different versions and forks of Node.js. It is written in JavaScript and supports Windows, macOS, and Linux, including use in CI environments.

Use cases

• switch between node.js versions
• manage multiple node versions on windows
• install node lts from the command line
• test a project against multiple node versions in CI
• migrate global npm modules to a new node version
• use a fork of node.js

When to choose

• you need a node version manager that works natively on Windows
• you want to switch between node versions and forks with a single tool
• you need per-shell or per-project node version switching
• you want to install node versions in CI pipelines

When to avoid

• you only use macOS/Linux and prefer the widely adopted nvm
• you need version managers for other runtimes like Python or Ruby
• you want a GUI-based runtime manager
