nodenv-installer

The nodenv-installer script idempotently installs or updates nodenv on your system. If Homebrew is detected, installation will proceed using brew install/upgrade. Otherwise, nodenv is installed under ~/.nodenv.

Additionally, node-build is also installed if nodenv install is not already available.

# with curl
curl -fsSL https://github.com/nodenv/nodenv-installer/raw/HEAD/bin/nodenv-installer | bash

# alternatively, with wget
wget -q https://github.com/nodenv/nodenv-installer/raw/HEAD/bin/nodenv-installer -O- | bash

# with npx/npm
npx @nodenv/nodenv-installer

The installer script is meant for casual use on your own development machine. For automating installation across machines it's better to avoid using this script in favor of fine-tuning nodenv & node-build installation manually. Some environments—such as container images meant for either Node development or production—should not be switching between multiple Node versions at all, so if you are installing nodenv there, you are likely doing something wrong.

nodenv-doctor

You can verify the state of your nodenv installation with:

# with curl
curl -fsSL https://github.com/nodenv/nodenv-installer/raw/HEAD/bin/nodenv-doctor | bash

# alternatively, with wget
wget -q https://github.com/nodenv/nodenv-installer/raw/HEAD/bin/nodenv-doctor -O- | bash

# with npx/npm
npx -p @nodenv/nodenv-installer nodenv-doctor
