fnm: Use a specific version of Node.js in the current shell.
$ fnm use ${node_version}
try on your machine

This command is related to the usage of fnm (Fast Node Manager), which is a tool used for managing different versions of Node.js on your system.

In this specific command, ${node_version} is a placeholder that represents a variable containing the desired version of Node.js that you want to use. It is used to dynamically specify the version in the command.

So, when you execute fnm use ${node_version}, fnm will switch the currently active version of Node.js to the one specified in ${node_version}. For example, if ${node_version} is set to 14.17.5, the command fnm use 14.17.5 will select and activate the Node.js version 14.17.5 for your current shell session.
