n

My own flavour of node binary management, no subshells, no profile setup, no convoluted api, just simple.

Installation

$ npm install n

or

$ make install

Usage

Output from n --help:

 Usage: n [options] <version>

 Commands:

   n               Output versions installed
   n <version>     Install and/or use node <version>

 Options:

   -V, --version   Output current version of n
   -h, --help      Display help information

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.

To alter where n operates simply export N_PREFIX to whatever you prefer.
