Since you probably already have `node`, the easiest way to install `n` is through `npm`:
|
||||
|
||||
$ npm install -g n
|
||||
npm install -g n
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, you can clone this repo and
|
||||
|
||||
$ make install
|
||||
make install
|
||||
|
||||
to install `n` to `bin/n` of the directory specified in the environment variable `$PREFIX`, which defaults to `/usr/local` (note that you will likely need to use `sudo`). To install `n` in a custom location (such as `$CUSTOM_LOCATION/bin/n`), run `PREFIX=$CUSTOM_LOCATION make install`.
|
||||
|
||||
Once installed, `n` installs `node` versions to subdirectory `n/versions` of the directory specified in environment variable `N_PREFIX`, which defaults to `/usr/local`; the _active_ `node` version is installed directly in `N_PREFIX`.
|
||||
To change the default to, say, `$HOME`, prefix later calls to `n` with `N_PREFIX=$HOME ` or add `export N_PREFIX=$HOME` to your shell initialization file.

|
||||
|
||||
To avoid requiring `sudo` for `n` and `npm` global installs, it is recommended you either install to your home directory using `N_PREFIX`, or take ownership of the system directories:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# make cache folder (if missing) and take ownership
|
||||
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/n
|

sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/n

n-install sets both `PREFIX` and `N_PREFIX` to `$HOME/n`, installs `n` to `$HOME/n/bin`, modifies the initialization files of supported shells to export `N_PREFIX` and add `$HOME/n/bin` to the `PATH`, and installs the latest stable `node` version.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
As a result, both `n` itself and all `node` versions it manages are hosted inside a single, optionally configurable directory, which you can later remove with the included `n-uninstall` script. `n-update` updates `n` itself to the latest version. See the [n-install repo](https://github.com/mklement0/n-install) for more details.

Simply execute `n <version>` to install a version of `node`. If `<version>` has already been installed (via `n`), `n` will activate that version.
