nodebrew

This is a tool for managing version of node.js

This tool can do multiple things with node.js such as switching between node.js' versions

・Confirm if the installation is completed? $ brew -v

If a version is displayed after running the above command, the installation is completed

nodebrew 0.9.6

Usage:
    nodebrew help                         Show this message
    nodebrew install <version>            Download and install <version> (compile from source)
    nodebrew install-binary <version>     Download and install <version> (binary file)
    nodebrew uninstall <version>          Uninstall <version>
    nodebrew use <version>                Use <version>
    nodebrew list                         List installed versions
    nodebrew ls                           Alias for `list`
    nodebrew ls-remote                    List remote versions
    nodebrew ls-all                       List remote and installed versions
    nodebrew alias <key> <value>          Set alias
    nodebrew unalias <key>                Remove alias
    nodebrew clean <version> | all        Remove source file
    nodebrew selfupdate                   Update nodebrew
    nodebrew migrate-package <version>    Install global NPM packages contained in <version> to current version
    nodebrew exec <version> -- <command>  Execute <command> using specified <version>

Example:
    # install from binary
    nodebrew install-binary v0.10.22

    # use a specific version number
    nodebrew use v0.10.22

    # io.js
    nodebrew install-binary io@v1.0.0
    nodebrew use io@v1.0.0

・Pass through environmental path

$ echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.nodebrew/current/bin' >> ~/.bash_profile

If you use bash, it will be added to the appropriate place of each shell.

After adding, the terminal will be restarted

・Display version that can be installed

$ nodebrew ls-remote

When you run the above command, the version that can be installed will be displayed

v0.0.1    v0.0.2    v0.0.3    v0.0.4    v0.0.5    v0.0.6

〜Shortened〜

v7.0.0    v7.1.0

io@v1.0.0 io@v1.0.1 io@v1.0.2 io@v1.0.3 io@v1.0.4 io@v1.1.0 io@v1.2.0 io@v1.3.0
io@v1.4.1 io@v1.4.2 io@v1.4.3 io@v1.5.0 io@v1.5.1 io@v1.6.0 io@v1.6.1 io@v1.6.2
io@v1.6.3 io@v1.6.4 io@v1.7.1 io@v1.8.1 io@v1.8.2 io@v1.8.3 io@v1.8.4

io@v2.0.0 io@v2.0.1 io@v2.0.2 io@v2.1.0 io@v2.2.0 io@v2.2.1 io@v2.3.0 io@v2.3.1
io@v2.3.2 io@v2.3.3 io@v2.3.4 io@v2.4.0 io@v2.5.0

io@v3.0.0 io@v3.1.0 io@v3.2.0 io@v3.3.0 io@v3.3.1

・Install

$ nodebrew install-binary {version}

Choose and install the necesssary version When retrieving the latest version:

$ nodebrew install-binary latest

Enable the installed node

$ nodebrew ls

With this, we can list all the version that installed by command

v7.1.0

current: none

Because right after installing it becomes current: none so we have to enable the necessary version

$ nodebrew use v7.1.0

Confirm the version of node

$ node -v
