    You can install more versions side by side and choose to activate any given one.

    You can also set a _default_ version so a new terminal starts with a given version activated. changing to use another version won't affect the default or other terminals.

    **Setup Node using NVM**

    A guide to using NVM.

    1. Install a target Node.js version.
    ```sh
    $ nvm install 14

    1. Select the installed version. You can don't have to enter the entire version number.
    ```sh
    $ nvm use 14
    Now using node v14.9.0 (npm v6.14.8)
    ```
    1. Check that your target Node.js version works.
    ```sh
    $ node -v
    v14.9.0
    $ npm -v
    6.14.8
    $ which node
    /Users/mcurrin/.nvm/versions/node/v14.9.0/bin/node
    ```
    1. List available versions installed.
    ```sh
    $ nvm ls
    v10.0.0
    v10.15.0
    v14.9.0
    -> system
    default -> node (-> v14.9.0)
    ...
    ```
    1. List versions which can be installed.
    ```sh
    $ nvm ls-remote
    ```
    That is very long, so you can use a grep pattern instead.
    ```sh
    $ nvm ls-remote 14
    v14.0.0
    v14.1.0
    v14.2.0
    v14.3.0
    v14.4.0
    v14.5.0
    v14.6.0
    v14.7.0
    v14.8.0
    v14.9.0
    v14.10.0
    v14.10.1
    v14.11.0
    v14.12.0
    v14.13.0
    ```
    You can install more versions side by side and choose to activate any given one.
    You can also set a _default_ version so a new terminal starts with a given version activated. changing to use another version won't affect the default or other terminals.
