  • 0

I need to know how I can install NodeJS multiple times on the same machine. I know about NVM but that only allows me to have 1 active version of node at once. I need to have these running concurrently.

Forever also need to be installed on each of these node installs.

I have no idea what I’m doing at all here. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

    You could create multiple symbolic links to the install locations of your node versions:

    e.g. install V1 like this:

    cd /opt
wget http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.8.17/node-v0.8.17.tar.gz
tar zxf node-v0.8.17.tar.gz
cd node-v0.8.17
./configure --prefix=/opt/node-v0.8.17 && make install

    then create the sym-link:
    e.g.:

    cd /opt
ln -s node-v0.8.17 nodeV1

    run this node installation with: 

    nodeV1

    (repeat with different locations & sym-links for your other versions)
