I know npm is the package manager and nvm is the node version manager. I am currently trying to auto-install my development and production environment using Bash and forgot how I started out and in what order. After installing npm, I found our nvm was not installed.
Do I still need to install nvm? If so, what is the benefit?

How to install npm via Node. Now that nvm is installed, we're ready to do what we really wanted to do in the first place: install npm and Node on our system. It's not a bad idea to confirm nvm is installed properly, by running nvm -v . If the terminal shows you the installed version number, you're good to go!
Npm is a tool that use to install packages. Npx is a tool that use to execute packages. Packages used by npm are installed globally. You have to care about pollution in the long term.
Introducing nvm nvm stands for Node Version Manager. As the name suggests, it helps you manage and switch between different Node versions with ease. It provides a command-line interface where you can install different versions with a single command, set a default, switch between them and much more.
NVM stands for Node. js Version Manager. The nvm command is a POSIX-compliant bash script that makes it easier to manage multiple Node. js versions on a single environment.
nvm (Node Version Manager) is a tool that allows you to download and install Node.js. Check if you have it installed via nvm --version.

npm comes with Node.js so if you have node installed (node --version) you most likely have npm installed as well.
You don't need nvm unless you you want to keep multiple versions of Node.js installed on your system or if you'd like to upgrade your current version.
