Working with multiple NodeJS Versions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you plan to work with different NodeJS Version, we suggest to setup the following folder structure. Choose for #YOUR ROOT#<\/code> whatever you want as your base folder, e.g. D:\\Development<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Install NodeJS Binary Package (.zip File)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Download and extract the NodeJS Binary Package to your destination folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All NodeJS Archives are here: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/nodejs.org\/dist\/v${dist_version}\/node-v${dist_version}-win-x64.zip\"<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Version<\/td>32 Bit<\/td>64 Bit<\/td><\/tr>
16.14.2<\/td>https:\/\/nodejs.org\/dist\/v16.14.2\/node-v16.14.2-win-x86.zip<\/a><\/td>https:\/\/nodejs.org\/dist\/v16.14.2\/node-v16.14.2-win-x64.zip<\/a><\/td><\/tr>
18.0.0<\/td>https:\/\/nodejs.org\/dist\/v18.0.0\/node-v18.0.0-win-x86.zip<\/a><\/td>https:\/\/nodejs.org\/dist\/v18.0.0\/node-v18.0.0-win-x64.zip<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
So, NodeJS 18.0.0 Files should be extracted to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
 #YOUR ROOT#\\Environments\\NodeJS\\18.0.0\\node<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Kepp in mind: if you extract the zip file. it creates a folder with the name of the zipfile and extracts all files in this folder, e.g. node-v18.0.0-win-x86<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We will call this installation folder HOME_NODE<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
HOME_NODE = \"D:\\Development\\Environments\\NodeJS\\18.0.0\"<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
So, best practice is to extract the zip file in the NodeJS folder #YOUR ROOT#\\Environments\\NodeJS<\/code>\\15.2.1 ($HOME_NODE<\/code>) and rename node-v15.2.1-win-x86 <\/code>to node <\/code>after extraction is complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your finale folder structure should look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on your security settings, you must sign the script.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read here <\/a>on how to do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fix for Version 18.x.x<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Using the original archive, you may get an error when you run node.exe<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
To fix this, set the environment variable OPENSSL_CONF (as we already did in set_env.ps1)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$ENV:OPENSSL_CONF = ''<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Create a Shortcut<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Create a Shortcut for this file by dragging the PowerShell script (with pressed ALT key).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Rename the Shortcut, e.g. “Start NodeJS 18.0.0”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Edit the Shortcut properties<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Right-Mouse-Click on Symbol and then select Properties:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Change Destination to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
powershell.exe -noexit D:\\Development\\Environments\\NodeJS\\18.0.0\\set_env.ps1<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Explanation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Call the PowerShell program<\/p>\n\n\n\n
powershell.exe<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
With the parameter<\/p>\n\n\n\n
 -noexit<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
And the parameter <\/p>\n\n\n\n
D:\\Development\\Environments\\NodeJS\\18.0.0\\set_env.ps1<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Which means:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Call PowerShell to run the script set_env.ps1<\/code> and stay in PowerShell after the Script is finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Configure with .npmrc<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Create a configuration file .npmrc in the folder $HOME_NODE (e.g., D:\\Development\\Environments\\NodeJS\\18.0.0<\/code>) using your favourite editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
notepad D:\\Development\\Environments\\NodeJS\\18.0.0\\.npmrc<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
 Add this line to the file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
cache=D:\\Development\\Environments\\NodeJS\\15.2.1\\npm\\cache\ncache-folder=D:\\Development\\Environments\\NodeJS\\15.2.1\\yarn\\cache\nglobal-folder=D:\\Development\\Environments\\NodeJS\\15.2.1\\yarn\nprefix=D:\\Development\\Environments\\NodeJS\\15.2.1\\npm<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Save the file<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Run the script<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Double-Click on the shortcut<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Install Build Tools <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Some packages need to build from source. These packages require additional tool, e.g.  compiler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Install all the required tools and configurations using Microsoft’s windows-build-tools<\/a> using npm install --global --production windows-build-tools<\/code> from an elevated PowerShell or CMD.exe (run as Administrator).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
