Answer 2

You install nvm first (Node Version Manager):

https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm

Then you say nvm install <version>.

And when you want to upgrade... it's as easy as nvm install <version>

And you can switch between Node versions:

nvm use <version>`

And by adding a .nvmrc file into the root of your project, you can wire up your shell to automatically switch to the version of Node.js specified in the .nvmrc file.

install LTS version 14.17.1 but installed current version 16.4.0 – Castrato

Just use the proper incantation if you want version 14 (lts/fermium): Just say nvm install --lts=fermium – Conserve

Node.js v--lts=fermium.0.0 is only available in 32-bit. – Castrato
