power-nvm

power-nvm is a nvm version for Windows. It manages node versions on your machine.

It creates a folder versions under your node root dir and install each version on its folder, allowing you to have isolated global packages and settings.

When you switch versions it changes the path, you can do it temporarily (nvm use) or permanently (nvm default <Version>).

It will set and depend on two env variables: NODE_DIR and NODE_DEFAULT.

Install

Install-Module -Name power-nvm

First time install

If you don't have node yet on your machine you might want to execute

nvm install latest
# Answer [Y] to make it default version

Commands

nvm install <Version>   # install version
nvm use [Version]       # use NODE version (supports .nvmrc)
nvm default <Version>   # set version as default

nvm ls [Filter]         # list installed versions
nvm ls-remote [Filter]  # list released versions

nvm setdir <Path>       # set NODE main dir
nvm uninstall <Version> # remove installation folder of a specific version

More help: nvm <command> -help

Breaking changes

• v0.x --> v1.x
  • root path is no longer used; now uses versions/v#.#.#
  • nvm default <Version> sets $env:NODE_DEFAULT and npm use default depends on this, so you have to redefine default
