gnode

Gnode

Project Level NodeJs version manager.

Installation

$ go get github.com/cjtoolkit/gnode

If you haven't got go installed, you can use the pre compiled binary instead
https://github.com/cjtoolkit/gnode/releases
Rename it to gnode or gnode.exe (if windows) and add it to the path (e.g. /usr/bin).

Using Gnode

Create .gnode in the root of the project, with the example below.

{
  "version": "12.16.2",
  "modules": [
    {
      "package": "yarn",
      "version": "1.22.4"
    }
  ]
}

The first parameter of gnode will point to a file in Node's bin directory, for example.

To use node run $ gnode node
To use npm run $ gnode npm
To use yarn run $ gnode yarn

If node is not install in ~/sdk, it will download Node and install it automatically, along with the modules specified in .gnode.

Note

You add add "no_npm": true to the root of .gnode and that will strip out npm after installation.

It's currently compatible with Windows, Linux and Mac.

Mac has not been tested, yet.
