Install NVM, NODE & NPM on MAC

 

Install NVM

1. Create a ~/.zshrc file (if it doesn't exist)
   
   

   touch ~/.zshrc

2. Before proceeding to the next step I needed to manually install Rosetta 2 in order run apps not built for Apple silicon.
   
   

   softwareupdate --install-rosetta

3. Install NVM using curl (found on the NVM Readme)
   
   

   curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.0/install.sh | bash

4. This last command will update your ~/.zshrc file to look like the following:
   
   

   export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm" [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm [ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" # This loads nvm bash_completion

5. Verify if NVM is installed. If it shows “nvm command not found”, then run the below command
   
   

   source ~/.zshrc nvm list nvm -v

Verify & Install Node Using NVM [For specific version]

nvm run node --version node -v nvm install 16.13.0 node -v

Verify & Install NPM Using NVM [For specific version]

npm -v npm install -g npm@8.1.1 npm -v

Uninstall a Node Version
