How run different versions of node.js in same time?

I have installed node v0.8.25 for my cloud9 application and i want develop on node v0.11.2. So can i run cloud9 on v0.8 and run my programs on v0.11.2 on Ubuntu? I used nvm.

Thanks.

TJ's n module is also useful

Install doing npm install -g n and use by doing n install lts or n install 8.2.1 for example. List of all commands is available at https://github.com/tj/n

You can do $(n bin M.m.x) to obtain the full path binary for node version M.m.x as long as you had installed it previously.

If you use pm2 to manage your application, you can use the --interpreter options and specify the path to your Node.js version.

Example: pm2 index.js --interpreter /usr/bin/node-v4.2.0

As hobbs said in his comment, nvm is the way to go, since it was made specifically for this.

Check out this nice article on how to set it up/use it with different versions: http://codetheory.in/using-node-version-manager-nvm-to-manage-multiple-node-js-versions/

Check rebrec's comment below for instructions on how to use nvm
