About
A node.js version management utility for Windows. Ironically written in Go.
[!IMPORTANT]
NVM for Windows Version 2 is now available!
NVM for Windows has been fully rewritten for modern workflows. There are significant changes from v1, as listed below and in the docs.
NVM for Windows
The Microsoft/Google recommended Node.js version manager for millions of Windows developers.
NVM for Windows is not the same thing as nvm! (expand for details)The original nvm is a completely separate project for Mac/Linux only. This project uses an entirely different philosophy and is not just a clone of nvm.
