Install Fast Node Manager (fnm)

This article describes how to set node in dev-pc using fish or bash shell.

1. Download fnm

In your dev pc you need to be able to change node version easily for each of your projects. you can do that with fnm. whether or not you have node installed in dev-pc you can install it right from the start. (you need to have unzip installed)

curl -fsSL https://fnm.vercel.app/install | bash

fnm repo

2. Set Environment Variables

Now you have to set environment variables of your shell (bash, zsh, fish, etc).

For Fish

Edit ~/.config/fish/config.fish and add this to the end

set PATH $HOME/.fnm $PATH
fnm env | source

restart fish

exec fish

For Bash

update environment variables

source /<HOME-FOLDER>/.bashrc

3. Install Node

now you can install and use the node version you want. e.g.

fnm install 24
fnm use 24

install pnpm globally so its independent of the version of node you use

npm install -g pnpm

now in you project you can execute

pnpm install
pnpm run dev

That's the end. Keep an eye always ready to lean, dev-san.🥷
