node.js Solutions
Solution 1 - node.js
Solution 2 - node.js
I use nave. https://github.com/isaacs/nave
> npm install -g nave
> nave use 0.4.12 # starts a subshell with 0.4.12 at the head of the path
> node --version
v0.4.12
> exit # go back to the original shell
> nave use 0.6.5
> node --version
v0.6.5
> nave usemain
Note that the first time you need a version, it will be downloaded and compiled for you.
Solution 3 - node.js
If you need something simple, the n
utility is just for you.
Install it (use sudo
prefix in commands if required):
npm -g install n
then :
npm cache clean -f
(don't be scared about the warning)
then just ask n
to (download if required and) use the version you specify. For instance:
n 0.11.13
Et voilĂ !
Should you install multiple versions, you'll be able to switch between them. See the [n page][1] for details.

You can follow simple approach here
step1:
$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.11.1/install.sh | bash
step2:
$ source ~/.profile
step3: list the latest versions of node
$ nvm ls-remote
step4:
$ nvm install 7.10.0
step5: Create alias as default for node version
$ nvm alias default 7.10.0
step6:
$node --version
that's it.
Solution 5 - node.js
Windows users check out nvmw
here.
You can go quite a long way down trying to install some of the other versions listed before realising there's no Windows support.
e.g. on the page for nave
> It will probably never work on Windows, or other systems lack a native > Bourne Again Shell. Sorry.
Solution 6 - node.js
The best option is node version manager NVM is very simple to install and you can change from one version to another with a simple nvm use
command.
