This article summarizes how to switch between different versions of Node.js.
Install Volta
If you're on macOS:
curl https://get.volta.sh | bashIf you're on Windows:
winget install Volta.VoltaThat’s all it takes to install Volta easily.
volta -v
2.0.2Just Specify the Version You Want to Use
You can install a version or set it as the default using the following commands:
If the version has already been installed once, it will switch instantly without re-downloading.
volta install node@20.19.0Or simply:
volta install node@20You can also use it with Yarn:
volta install yarn@3If You Want Different Versions per Project
volta pin node@16With the pin command, you can specify the Node.js version to be used for each project.
This version info is stored in the package.json file. If package.json is missing, this command will result in an error.
{
"name": "node20",
"version": "1.0.0",
// omitted
"volta": {
"node": "20.18.0"
}
}Switching Node.js versions has never been easier.
The process of switching versions is often referred to as "version management," so if you're curious to learn more, try searching with that term.
I hope this helps someone out there!
