Update to Node version 16 without installing package

Question

I am trying to update my node version to 16.

Here what I am doing:

--installing nvm
sudo apt install curl 
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/master/install.sh | bash 

-- nvm installer script creates environment entry to login script of the current user.
source ~/.profile  

--node 
nvm install 16
nvm use 16

What bothers me, is I need to install a package called nvm. Is it possible to update node without installing a package?

Advance Thanks,
