nodenv: Use a specific version of Node.js across the whole system.
$ nodenv global ${version}
try on your machine

The command nodenv global ${version} is used to set the global Node.js version in your local environment using nodenv, a version manager for Node.js.

Here's a breakdown of each component in the command:

  • nodenv: Refers to the nodenv command-line tool, which is used to manage multiple Node.js versions on a single machine.
  • global: Specifies that we want to set the global Node.js version. The global version is the default version used by your system, unless overridden by a local directory-specific version.
  • ${version}: This is a placeholder indicating that you need to replace it with the actual desired Node.js version you want to set as the global version. For example, if you want to set the global version to 14.15.4, you would replace ${version} with 14.15.4.

By running this command, you can change the global Node.js version on your system to the specified version, allowing you to easily switch between different versions of Node.js as needed for your development projects.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
