如何在mac上安装并nvm使node版本降级

我们平时在开发node的时候，会碰到某某开源项目api不支持的情况，一般情况下是我们自己电脑的node版本较高，一些旧有api被移除的关系。解决这一问题的办法一般采用将node版本降级。而nvm正是管理node版本的工具，使用对应命令行即可将自己的电脑node版本降级至指定版本。下面我来说下如何在mac上安装并nvm同时使node版本降级。

1、安装nvm

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.30.2/install.sh | bash

2、配置环境变量

完成后nvm就被安装在了~/.nvm下啦，接下来就需要配一下环境变量，找找看用户目录下的.bash_profile文件配置。

检查一下配置文件中是否存在如下配置

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm

如果存在执行命令行应用nvm环境变量

source /Users/zhangsan/.bash_profile

3、查看nvm环境变量

nvm

如果安装成功会显示

Node Version Manager

Note: <version> refers to any version-like string nvm understands. This includes:
  - full or partial version numbers, starting with an optional "v" (0.10, v0.1.2, v1)
  - default (built-in) aliases: node, stable, unstable, iojs, system
  - custom aliases you define with `nvm alias foo`

Usage:
  nvm help                                  Show this message
  nvm --version                             Print out the latest released version of nvm
  nvm install [-s] <version>                Download and install a <version>, [-s] from source. Uses .nvmrc if available
    --reinstall-packages-from=<version>     When installing, reinstall packages installed in <node|iojs|node version number>
  nvm uninstall <version>                   Uninstall a version
  nvm use [--silent] <version>              Modify PATH to use <version>. Uses .nvmrc if available
  nvm exec [--silent] <version> [<command>] Run <command> on <version>. Uses .nvmrc if available
  nvm run [--silent] <version> [<args>]     Run `node` on <version> with <args> as arguments. Uses .nvmrc if available
  nvm current                               Display currently activated version
  nvm ls                                    List installed versions
  nvm ls <version>                          List versions matching a given description
  nvm ls-remote                             List remote versions available for install
  nvm version <version>                     Resolve the given description to a single local version
  nvm version-remote <version>              Resolve the given description to a single remote version
  nvm deactivate                            Undo effects of `nvm` on current shell
  nvm alias [<pattern>]                     Show all aliases beginning with <pattern>
  nvm alias <name> <version>                Set an alias named <name> pointing to <version>
  nvm unalias <name>                        Deletes the alias named <name>
  nvm reinstall-packages <version>          Reinstall global `npm` packages contained in <version> to current version
  nvm unload                                Unload `nvm` from shell
  nvm which [<version>]                     Display path to installed node version. Uses .nvmrc if available

Example:
  nvm install v0.10.32                  Install a specific version number
  nvm use 0.10                          Use the latest available 0.10.x release
  nvm run 0.10.32 app.js                Run app.js using node v0.10.32
  nvm exec 0.10.32 node app.js          Run `node app.js` with the PATH pointing to node v0.10.32
  nvm alias default 0.10.32             Set default node version on a shell

Note:
  to remove, delete, or uninstall nvm - just remove the `$NVM_DIR` folder (usually `~/.nvm`)

4、查看可以安装的node版本

nvm ls -remote

5、选择一个你要的版本执行安装

nvm install v9.11.2

6、切换node版本

nvm use v9.11.2

7、查看node版本是否已经降级

node -v

如此我们使用的node版本便可以随意切换了，遇到旧的node项目，我们也可以运行自如。
