Please note, you need to uninstall any existing versions of node.js before installing NVM for Windows. It comes with an installer (and uninstaller) because getting it should be easy. Important Note: Pay attention to what the nvm-windows documentation says: You can grab the installer from the page of the link. But hold on because there's another side project made with Go that does the same, nvm-windows. The bad news is that this project is only developed for Mac. NVM (Node Version Manager) is a utility to manage multiple NodeJS versions within the same machine avoiding problems between installations like packages compatibilities or wrong installations. If you don't know what I'm talking about let me explain it to you. When I use Node at work I use it by installing it with NVM. I'm a gamer, and as a gamer, I use Windows to being able to play anything, but I also like to develop toy project in my free time or contribute to the open source cause, so I need a correct environment to work with.

I agree that working with a Mac is the best thing to develop in NodeJS these days without having any headache but here is my excuse to use Windows.
