I want to install the latest minor/patch version of NodeJS 4 using nvm
. I don't just want "latest", because that would be NodeJS 8 or whatever later, potentially breaking-change version is out now.
If it were an npm
dependency, I would be able to say nvm install "^4"
, but that doesn't work. Is there a simple command to do this? If there isn't, is there something I can do on the command line to find the latest version and install it in a one-liner that works on both Windows and Unix-based consoles?
(nvm maintainer here)
If you run nvm --help
(make sure you're using the latest version of nvm
), you'll see a description of all the things nvm
supports. Specifically, nvm
does not support semver ranges, however, nvm install 4
or nvm install 4.x
will install the latest available version of node 4.
Separately, you can use nvm install --lts=argon
(and nvm alias default lts/argon
if you want to peg to the LTS line specifically instead of just v4.
