Sounds amazing, in a way I guess it would be kinda like the concept of a container, I will look more into how to install NVM hopefully is not that complicated

IIRC it's fairly straightforward to install. I think the only possible problem that may crop up is ensuring the command is available on your PATH; but I'm pretty sure that's already documented.

The other thing to be careful of is what version you currently have active; since some dependencies may break depending on the version. I've had a couple of cases of things not working and having to remember to switch to the appropriate version of node.
