Use nodenv

nodenv is similar to:

  • virtualenv for Python
  • rbenv for Ruby
  • rvm also for Ruby
  • plenv for Perl
  • perlbrew also for Perl

And of course:

  • nvm

Which is also for NodeJS.

It lets use install several Node versions in parallel. Which has several benefits:

  • You do not have to rely on a system controlled and installed toolchain
  • You can possibly specify specific versions for projects/repositories
  • It is very easy to reinstall if something goes haywire
