NVS is itself written in node JavaScript.\n\nThis tool is obviously inspired by other node version manager tools, especially [**nvm**](https://github.com/creationix/nvm), from which it borrows a lot of ideas and some command-line syntax.\n\n## Setup\nFollowing are basic setup instructions. [For more details and options for setting up NVS, refer to the Setup page.](doc/SETUP.md)\n\n### Windows\nA Windows Installer (MSI) package is available from the [NVS releases page on GitHub](https://github.com/jasongin/nvs/releases).\n\nYou can use [winget](https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/app-installer/9NBLGGH4NNS1?hl=en-us\u0026gl=US) to install it (available by default in Windows 11):\n```sh\nwinget install jasongin.nvs\n```\n\nYou can also use [chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org) to install it:\n```\nchoco install nvs\n```\n\n### Mac, Linux\nSpecify the installation path, clone the repo, and *source* the `install` command:\n```\nexport NVS_HOME=\"$HOME/.nvs\"\ngit clone https://github.com/jasongin/nvs \"$NVS_HOME\"\n. \"$NVS_HOME/nvs.sh\" install\n```\n\nThe `nvs.sh` script adds an `nvs` shell function to the environment. Afterward the tool should be invoked as just `nvs` without any path. The `install` command adds lines to your `~/.bashrc`, `~/.profile`, or `~/.zshrc` file to source `nvs.sh`, so that the `nvs` function is available in future shells.\n\nFor ksh, the source `nvs.sh` needs to be in your `~/.kshrc` or wherever `$ENV` points.\n\n### CI Environments\n[NVS can be used in a CI environment](doc/CI.md) such as AppVeyor or Travis CI, to test a Node.js app or library on any version ",
