## Details
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`n` by default installs node to _/usr/local/n/versions_, from
|
|
|
|
|
which it can see what you have currently installed, and activate previously installed versions of node when `n <version>` is invoked again.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Activated nodes are then installed to the prefix _/usr/local_, which of course may be altered via the __PREFIX__ environment variable.

|
|
|
To alter where `n` operates simply export __N_PREFIX__ to whatever you prefer.
