Step #1: Install NVM (Node Version Manager)
Install the script with the following command:
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.30.2/install.sh | bash
After running the above command, you may be instructed to close and re-open your terminal to begin using NVM. However, you also can begin using NVM immediately by running the following command:
source ~/.bashrc
Step #2: Verify the Installation
The following command will verify the installation by returning the currently installed version:
nvm --version
In this case, that yields the following output:
[root@host ~]# nvm --version
