  1. Install Cmder<\/a> in your desired location.<\/li>\n
  2. Download nvm-noinstall.zip<\/code> from the latest release<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  3. Extract the contents of nvm-noinstall.zip<\/code> (i.e.: nvm.exe<\/code> \u2026) into the bin<\/code> folder inside of the portable Cmder folder.<\/li>\n
  4. Navigate to the bin<\/code>.<\/li>\n
  5. Create a new file called install_fix.cmd<\/code> that contains this code<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  6. Open a terminal in the bin<\/code> folder and type .\\install_fix.cmd<\/code><\/li>\n
  7. When asked to enter the path use the full path to your Cmder bin<\/code> folder.<\/li>\n
  8. If it worked, a file called settings.txt<\/code> has been created in the your Cmder bin<\/code> folder.<\/li>\n
  9. Close the terminal, and reopen it in the bin<\/code> folder.<\/li>\n
  10. Install the version of Node you want, e.g. nvm install latest<\/code>.<\/li>\n
  11. Wait until the installation is completed, then, inside the bin<\/code> folder, there should be a new folder containing the latest Node version (e.g. v17.3.0<\/code>).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    From there, you can use the full path to your Cmder bin<\/code> + the Node version folder + node.exe<\/code> to execute something with this version of Node using Powershell, CMD or other terminal.<\/p>\n

    For example:<\/p>\n

    \r\nPS D:\\experiments\\my-stuff\\> D:\\experiments\\nodejs-portable\\cmder_mini\\bin\\v17.3.0\\node.exe index.js\r\n<\/pre>\n
    You could use Cmder with the Node path in the Startup Settings of the app; e.g. set \"PATH=D:\\experiments\\nodejs-portable\\cmder_mini\\bin\\v17.3.0;%PATH%\"<\/code>. This way, in Cmder, when typing node.exe<\/code> it’s the portable version that will be used.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
