• configure Node.js: Here we find a bash script to manage multiple active node.js versions

node -v
which node
less ~/.profile
touch ~/.profile
chmod 700 ~/.profile
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.3/install.sh | bash
cat ~/.profile
command -v nvm
nvm -v
. ~/.profile
nvm -v
command -v nvm
echo $NVM_DIR
nvm version-remote --lts
nvm ls-remote| grep 'Latest LTS'| grep v10
nvm i <lts>
which node
/usr/bin/node -v
node -v

Using NVM

• install curl command-line utility

sudo apt install curl --no-install-recommends
