get-node

Download Node.js.

The binary is downloaded from the Node.js website.

This is cached: if the output directory already has a node executable, no download will be performed.

Works on Linux/Mac/Windows.

Example

# Download Node.js latest release
$ get-node
$ ./node
Welcome to Node.js v12.8.0.
Type ".help" for more information.
> .exit

# Download a specific Node.js release
$ get-node 8
$ ./node
> process.version
'v8.16.0'
> .exit

# Any version range can be used
$ get-node 8.12.0
$ get-node '<7'

# Specify the output directory
$ get-node 12 ~/.cache/node_releases/
$ ~/.cache/node_releases/node --version
v12.8.0

Install

npm install get-node

At the moment this requires node to be globally installed. Which means this is only useful when you are installing a different version of Node.

Usage

get-node [VERSION] [OUTPUT_DIRECTORY]

VERSION can be any version range such as 12, 12.6.0 or <12.
