How to update node version from cmd

1. Open your command prompt or terminal.

2. Check the current version of Node.js installed on your system by running the following command:

   node -v

   1. Visit the official Node.js website (nodejs.org) to check the latest available version.

   2. To update Node.js, you have a couple of options:

      a. Using a package manager (recommended):

      • For Windows, you can use the Node Version Manager (NVM) for Windows, which allows you to easily switch between different Node.js versions. Follow the instructions at github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows to install NVM and manage Node.js versions.

      • For macOS or Linux, you can use a package manager like NVM (Node Version Manager) or n (Node.js version management). Visit the respective GitHub repositories for installation instructions:

        • NVM: github.com/nvm-sh/nvm

        • n: github.com/tj/n

Once you have the package manager installed, you can use it to install the latest version of Node.js by running a command like:

nvm install <version> # Replace <version> with the desired Node.js version

or

n install # Replace with the desired Node.js version

b. Manually downloading and installing:

• Visit the official Node.js website (nodejs.org) and download the latest version for your operating system.

• Run the downloaded installer and follow the installation instructions.

• Once the installation is complete, you can verify the updated version by running node -v again.

Note: It's generally recommended to use a package manager like NVM to manage Node.js versions, as it provides more flexibility and ease of switching between different versions.
