Additionally, installs scripts n-update for later on-demand updating of n , and n-uninstall for uninstalling. The simplest case is installation of n with confirmation prompt , with subsequent installation of the latest LTS Node.js version : Note: The bit.ly URL resolves to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mklement0/n-install/stable/bin/n-install , i.e. a Bash script in this repository. This is by far the simplest way to get started with both n and Node.js - even if you're looking to install only the latest LTS (long-term support) Node.js version, with no (immediate) plans to install multiple versions. n is installed as follows: The installation target is a dedicated directory , which defaults to /n and can be overridden with environment variable N PREFIX ; n itself as well as the active Node.js version are placed there. When overriding, it is advisable to choose a user location - typically, a subfolder of (at any level) - so as to avoid the need to use sudo for installation of global npm packages. Either way, the target directory must either not exist yet or be empty.
