About:
N is a simple and efficient CLI tool for managing multiple Node.js versions. It allows developers to easily install, switch between, and manage different Node.js versions without complex configuration. The tool simplifies the development workflow by providing a straightforward way to test applications across various Node.js environments.
Key Features:
  • Install and switch between Node.js versions
  • Binary download and installation
  • Simple command-line interface
  • Version management via .n-node-version files
Use Cases:
  • Managing multiple Node.js versions for different projects
  • Testing applications across different Node.js releases
  • CI/CD pipeline version management
Alternatives:
  • nvm – N is generally faster and simpler than nvm, which uses shell functions and can be slower
  • fnm – fnm is Rust-based and faster, but N is more established and widely used
