Manually Manage Node Versions​

There may be cases where you are unable to use NVM or when installing a particular version of NodeJS doesn’t work. Use this method to manually point to a specific version of NodeJS.

Download a Version of NodeJS​

Download a particular packaged version of NodeJS from the site below (e.g. node-v16.4.0-win-x64.zip).

https://nodejs.org/en/download/releases/

Unzip the Package​

Place in a common directory (e.g. “C:\Users\Jacob\NodeJS”)

Manually Update Path​

Use the following command to manually add the NodeJS version to the Path in Windows PowerShell. This will only adjust the Path variable for the single Windows PowerShell session.

$env:Path = "C:\Users\Jacob\NodeJS\node-v16.4.0;$env:Path"
