1. Make sure you have a .bashrc file in your user profile folder (~/.bashrc) as the nvm command will be configured there. If not, create one.

  2. Install nvm (Node Version Manager): In Git Bash, run the curl command written here. Alternatively, instead of using curl, you can download the install script (install.sh) also from here, right click the file » “Open with” » “Git for Windows”.

  3. Close Git Bash and reopen it.

  4. Type command -v nvm which should output nvm if the installation was successful.

  5. Type nvm install node which will install Node.js and npm as well.

  6. Type npm -v and node -v to confirm the installation was successful.
