Node.js, npm with NVM

Better to install node with nvm instead of homebrew. Allows us the flexibility to easily update node, have multiple version as well.

Install nvm

Allow you to manage your node version

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.35.2/install.sh | bash

restart terminal

check version

nvm --version

Debug

if you're comand nvm isn't recognized try adding the code to your shell profile

we're using zsh so you would add it to.

nano ~/.zshrc

#.zshrc
export NVM_DIR="$([ -z "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME-}" ] && printf %s "${HOME}/.nvm" || printf %s "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/nvm")"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"
# This loads nvm

other shell profiles

  • ~/.bash_profile
  • ~/.profile
  • ~/.bashrc

Install Node

nvm install node
nvm use node

Check Node and NPM Version

node -v && npm -v

Update nvm

Later down the road if you want to update NVM

nvm install node --reinstall-packages-from=node

Change version

https://nodejs.org/en/download/releases/ Find node vesion

nvm install xx.xx
nvm use xx.xx

#list node version
nvm ls

And to set the default:

nvm alias default xx.xx

#list nvm
nvm alias default xx.xx

#check version
node -v && npm -v

Git

Version Control

Add Default User Info

git --version
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "youremail@email.com"

ssh

Create a SSH Key

ssh-keygen

save as /home/username/.ssh/id_rsa

Type in passphrase this will be extra password for security make sure you remember this or store it somewhere safe.
