In numerous blog posts regarding the configuration of the default nodejs version using nvm, the following command is often cited:
nvm alias default nodeWhile this command might work in some cases (as
nodewill point to the latest version installed on your system), it might not behave as intended if you want to default to a specific version of Node.js.This command is actually referring to the Set default node version section in the nvm's README. It's crucial to note that the instructions suggest setting a specific node version of your choosing, rather than using the generic
node.So if you're aiming to set a particular version (for example, 14.15.1) as your default, the correct command would be:
nvm alias default 14.15.1This ensures that the specified version of Node.js will be used by default. If you simply use
nodeas in the first command, it could point to any installed version, which might not be what you intend.
