What is nvm ?

nvm stands for Node Version Manager.

terminal

$ brew install nvm

terminal

$ vi ~/.bash_profile
# Add the follwoing 2 lines in the end of file
export NVM_DIR=~/.nvm
source $(brew --prefix nvm)/nvm.sh

terminal

$ nvm install 0.12
$ nvm use 0.12
$ node
> ...

Every time you launch new terminal, you need to specify node version.
If you do not specify and try to use node, command not found error returns.

terminal

$ node
-bash: node: command not found

To avoid this, you can set default alias

terminal

$ nvm alias default 0.12
