Two different projects on the same system, with different node versions

I work on two different projects. One is using AngularJS, and the packages depend on node v4.2.0. Anything above that node version breaks the application, so basically I am stuck with that version.

Recently I started working on a new application using Angular (6 in particular) and I have installed the latest node version (v8.11.3).

Whenever I switch working on any project during development, I use nvm for windows using the following commands:

The problem is, when I deploy the applications on the server. How can I run the two applications, at the same time, with different node versions?

Assuming you are limited to a single server, ideally you would run each application in its own Docker container, keeping node versions isolated.

If this is not an option, you can use the nvm run command to target specific versions without switching the node variable:

For your angular app:

nvm run 4.2.0 your-angular-app.js

For the other app:

nvm run 8.11.3 your-other-app.js
