🌱 NVM

You need to have many versions of node and npm on your machine. Each project is different.

Don’t be that person who says it works on my machine.

Use nvm (version managing).

Install nvm

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.10.0/install.sh | bash

Install version of node

nvm install 0.10

switch version node

nvm use 0.10

Set default version of node for nvm

nvm alias default 0.10

Save the version so other can use the same

touch .nvmrc

add the node version to the .nvmrc file and commit it to your repo

now you can nvm use and your shell will switch to the correct repo (assumes you have nvm installed)

NPM

Install and record package

npm install --save NAME_OF_PACKAGE
