Running nvm for Windows Host via OpenSSH (Installed via Scoop)
This article provides a detailed guide on how to run nvm (Node Version Manager) for Windows host via OpenSSH. We will cover the installation of nvm using Scoop, setting up environment variables, and testing the setup.
Installing nvm via Scoop
To install nvm on your Windows machine, you can use the Scoop package manager. First, you need to install Scoop by running the following command in your command prompt:
iwr -useb get.scoop.sh | iex
Once Scoop is installed, you can install nvm by running the following command:
scoop install nvm
Setting up Environment Variables
After installing nvm, you need to set up the environment variables so that nvm can be used properly. You can add the following lines to your profile.cmd file:
call nvm_setup.bat
set NVM_HOME=%~dp0nvm
set PATH=%NVM_HOME%\v1.1.10;%PATH%
set ENABLE_AUTO_INSTALL_NPM=1
Make sure to replace v1.1.10 with the version of Node.js that you want to use. You can also set up the environment variables manually by adding them to the system properties.
Testing the Setup
To test if nvm is working properly, you can run the following command:
nvm list
This should display a list of Node.js versions that are installed on your system. You can switch between versions by running the following command:
nvm use v1.1.10
This will set the active Node.js version to v1.1.10.
Running nvm on a Remote Windows Machine via OpenSSH
To run nvm on a remote Windows machine via OpenSSH, you need to set up an SSH connection to the remote machine. Once you are connected, you can run the same commands as if you were running them locally.
Make sure that the environment variables are set up properly on the remote machine. You can check this by running the following command:
nvm_setup.bat
This should display a message indicating that nvm is set up properly.
