I’m pretty sure Node developers usually don’t install Node from npm.
- monocasa 2y agoDoes nvm not use npm internally?
- pzo 2y agoGithub shows 98% of code is "Shell" on top of that there are also many different package managers that people use: fnm, volta that are build with rust. You can also install nodejs using homebrew.
- ramesh31 2y ago>Does nvm not use npm internally? No. It downloads binaries from nodejs.org. There is no "official" canonical means of managing Node versions. It's just a grab bag of community tools like NVM.
- nicce 2y agoI would dare to say that average person who works with Node does not use nvm.
- chamomeal 2y agoReally? I think it’s even recommended on the node website’s install page
- yen223 2y agoYeah. For comparison, there are 27 million weekly downloads for React. I'm not sure what conclusions we can draw from either number.
