Installing Node.js using nvm

After installing nvm, you need to install the version of Node.js we will use in this book: version 8.11.1. To install it, run this command:

nvm install 8.11.1

If you didn't have Node.js or nvm previously installed, it will automatically set this to your default Node.js installation, so the output of this command should be v8.11.1:

node --version

If you have existing Node.js versions installed, you can either use v8.11.1 as a default, or ensure that you run this command to use v8.11.1 when working through the examples in this book:

nvm use 8.11.1
