nvm: Launch the REPL of a specific version of Node.js.
$ nvm run ${node_version} --version
try on your machine

This command is a shell command that runs a specific version of Node.js using the nvm (Node Version Manager) tool.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • nvm: This is the command to run the nvm tool.
  • run: This is a sub-command of nvm used to execute a specified version of Node.js.
  • ${node_version}: This is a placeholder for the actual version of Node.js you want to run. You need to replace ${node_version} with the desired version number (e.g., lts, 14.17.0, or stable).
  • --version: This is an optional flag that prints the version number of the specified version of Node.js. If you include this flag, it will show the version information after running the specified version.

To use this command, replace ${node_version} with the version of Node.js you want to run (e.g., nvm run lts --version). This will execute the specified version of Node.js and display its version number.
