Installing multiple version of NodeJS

Question

I need to know how I can install NodeJS multiple times on the same machine. I know about NVM but that only allows me to have 1 active version of node at once. I need to have these running concurrently.

Forever also need to be installed on each of these node installs.

I have no idea what I'm doing at all here. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Answer 1

You could create multiple symbolic links to the install locations of your node versions:

eg install V1 like this:

cd /opt
wget http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.8.17/node-v0.8.17.tar.gz
tar zxf node-v0.8.17.tar.gz
cd node-v0.8.17
./configure --prefix=/opt/node-v0.8.17 && make install

then create the sym-link: eg:

cd /opt
ln -s node-v0.8.17 nodeV1

run this node installation with:

nodeV1

(repeat with different locations & sym-links for your other versions)

我想，您将在安装节点js时尝试使用选项“ --prefix”

./configure --prefix=/path/to/node_version
