Hey There!?
This article is about installing Node on a Unix/Linux based system. We are using NVM to do this
You can also follow this video by me....(Don't forget to subscribe!)
This guide can be followed on: > 1) Linux based distributions like Ubuntu, Debian, Red Hat, Fedora > 2) Unix distros MacOS ... etc.
Step 1
Visit https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm to visit nvm's github repository 
"Nvm github"
Now we can scroll down untill we find a list of commands 
Step 2
Now, we just have to run these commands.
Command 1: Use curl/Wget to run the Install/Update script.
Using Curl:
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.38.0/install.sh | bash
Using Wget:
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.38.0/install.sh | bash
We have to export some ENV (Enviornment variables)... Run these 2 commands
export NVM_DIR="$([ -z "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME-}" ] && printf %s "${HOME}/.nvm" || printf %s "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/nvm")"
sh [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm
Step 3
Use NVM to install Node!
Now we have successfully installed NVM. Time to use It.
To install the latest LTS version of node, run:
nvm install --lts
To install latest version of node, Run:
nvm install node
To install a specific version of node, run:
nvm install 12.0.0 # This istalls node v12.0.0
To use a specific version:
nvm use 12.0.0 # Uses node v12.0.0
That's It! Now you have node running on your system!
