Install NVM in WSL and Node

 You can install NVM (Node Version Manager) in WSL pretty easily. Here’s the step-by-step:

1. Open your WSL terminal

(For example, Ubuntu).

2. Install required dependencies

sudo apt update
sudo apt install curl wget git -y

3. Download and install NVM

Run the official install script:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.7/install.sh | bash

(Replace v0.39.7 with the latest version if needed: https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm/releases)

4. Load NVM into your shell

After installation, add this to the end of your ~/.bashrc (or ~/.zshrc if you use Zsh):

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion"

Then reload your shell:

source ~/.bashrc

5. Verify NVM installation

nvm --version

6. Install Node.js using NVM

  • Install latest LTS version:

    nvm install --lts

  • Install a specific version:

    nvm install 20

  • Switch versions:

    nvm use 20

✅ Done — now you can manage multiple Node.js versions in your WSL environment.
