How to install Node 14 version on windows

Question

I want to install Node.js version 14 on Windows but it is not installing instead it is showing below screen.

But when I try to install Node.js v17, it is opening installation wizard by which I can install Node.js but this is not happening for Node.js 14. How can I install Node.js v14? I downloaded the exe from https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v14.17.3/

Answer 1

It is easier to use nvm for node installation. It allows you to quickly install and use different versions of node via the command line

It is available on Linux/Mac and Windows

You can find the setup file in the releases section and install it

To install node v14 you just need to execute 2 comands

nvm install 14
nvm use 14

Answer 2

If you've downloaded the exe, there's no installation needed - you already have the executable, and as you can see, it's operational - when you run it, you get Node.js' REPL.

If you want to "properly" install Node.js you could download and run the MSI from the link instead of the exe.
