Install multiple versions using NVM, NVM (Node Version Manager) is the version management software for Node.js, allowing you to easily switch between different versions of Node.js.

Install steps

Use Git to clone the source code to your local ~/.nvm directory and check for the latest version.

yum install git
git clone https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm.git ~/.nvm && cd ~/.nvm && git checkout `git describe --abbrev=0 --tags`

// if you have network connection issue, you can do like below
git clone https://gitee.com/banjiaojuhao/nvm.git ~/.nvm && cd ~/.nvm && git checkout `git describe --abbrev=0 --tags`

Activate the NVM.

echo ". ~/.nvm/nvm.sh" >> /etc/profile
source /etc/profile

Lists all versions of Node.js.

nvm list-remote

NVM configures mirroring in china, (If you cannot access list-remote, configure nvm domestic mirroring).

Method 1:

nvm npm_mirror https://npmmirror.com/mirrors/npm/
nvm node_mirror https://npmmirror.com/mirrors/node/

Method 2:

nvm npm_mirror http://mirrors.cloud.tencent.com/npm/
nvm node_mirror http://mirrors.cloud.tencent.com/nodejs-release/

Install multiple versions of Node.js.

nvm install v6.9.5
nvm install v7.4.0

Run nvm ls to see the installed version of Node.js. This example uses version v7.4.0

[root@iZXXXXZ .nvm]# nvm ls
         v6.9.5
->       v7.4.0
         system
stable -> 7.4 (-> v7.4.0) (default)
unstable -> 6.9 (-> v6.9.5) (default)

Run nvm use <version number> to switch the Node.js version. For example, switch the Node.js version to v7.4.0. The following information is displayed.

[root@iZXXXXZ .nvm]# nvm use v7.4.0
