How to Download and Use Node.js through NVM

Are you interested in starting your journey with Node.js for SEO automation? If so, the first step is to download and install Node.js on your machine. In this article, we will explore the process of downloading and using Node.js through NVM (Node Version Manager).

'Download node js'

To begin, head over to the official NVM website and download the `nvm-setup.zip` file that contains the executable to install. If you're running Windows, don't worry - thanks to Corey Butler, you can still enjoy NVM on your machine. Mac users can simply download it from the official NVM repository.

Before installing Node Version Manager, make sure you have a Node.js version installed on your machine. However, if you plan to deploy a Cloud Function with Node.js in Google Cloud, you'll need to use version 12.0.0 for it to work correctly. Additionally, you may want to upgrade or downgrade your Node.js version depending on the environment where you plan to deploy your script.

As of this writing, the latest release of Node.js is version 16.1.0. Node.js receives regular updates every few weeks, bringing new capabilities and security improvements. But there's a better way - using Node Version Manager.

The simple way to get Node.js on your machine is to download it directly from the official website and install it. There are two ways to achieve this: you can either manually download and install each version separately or use NVM to manage multiple versions of Node.js.
