How Not to Install Node.js: A Better Way with fnm
When it comes to installing Node.js, not all methods are created equal. Many developers rely on their operating system's package managers, such as apt-get on Debian/Ubuntu, Brew on macOS, or Chocolatey on Windows. However, this approach often leads to outdated versions, inconsistent file placement, and potential security risks when using sudo to install global npm packages. Even downloading directly from the Node.js website has its drawbacks, particularly on macOS and Linux, where sudo is still required for global libraries.

It allows seamless installation, uninstallation, and version switching based on the project directory.
