How to Install and Switch Between Different Versions of Node.js Without Docker and NVM

Many developers face issues when trying to install and use higher versions of Node.js and related tools on older operating systems due to compatibility problems.

A common solution is to use Docker images as command-line tools. Managing Node versions through Docker ensures complete dependencies, avoiding the mismatched dependency errors. Itโ€™s slightly more convenient than using NVM. However, the trade-off is the disk space usage and the time required to pull images.

Now, thereโ€™s a tool that makes running different versions of Node.js commands simpler and faster: ServBay.

ServBay is an all-in-one development environment management tool designed to ease the burden of maintaining development environments.

ServBay is an amazing tool; the installation package is only 13MB, yet it supports multiple versions of Node.js. With just a click to download, it automatically completes the installation without any additional steps or the need to pull images, making it very space-efficient and ensuring that your system can handle it.
