You need different Node versions for different projects. Follow these steps to set them up.
- Download Node bins from the release page.
- Move the files to a folder on your computer.
- Use a path like C:\Users\YourName\node\node-14.17.3.
Open your terminal to set the version.
For Bash: export PATH=/c/Users/YourName/node/node-14.17.3:$PATH
For CMD: set PATH=C:\Users\YourName\node\node-14.17.3;%PATH%
For PowerShell: $env:PATH = "C:\Users\YourName\node\node-14.17.3;" + $env:PATH
Check the version: npm -v
This change only works for the active terminal.
Use a script to automate this. Create a file with these lines for Windows:
@echo off SETLOCAL set "NODE_PATH=C:\Users%USERNAME%\node\node-14.17.3" set "PATH=%NODE_PATH%;%NODE_PATH%\node_modules\npm\bin;%PATH%" node -v cmd /k
