Update Node.js with NVM (Node Version Manager)

1. Start by updating the package repository with the command:

sudo apt update

2. Install NVM using the curl command:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.38.0/install.sh | bash

Alternatively, you use wget and run the command:

wget -q0- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.38.0/install.sh | bash

3. Close and reopen the terminal for system to recognize the changes or run the command:

source ~/.bashrc

4. Then, verify if you have successfully installed NVM:

nvm --version

5. Before upgrading Node.js, check which version you have running on the system:

nvm ls

6. Now you can check for newly available releases with:

nvm ls-remote

7. To install the latest version, use the nvm command with the specific Node.js version:

nvm install [version.number] or nvm install v20.10.0
