Sometimes Chocolatey, Homebrew or apt-get will not upgrade Node.js versions at a fast enough cadence for us, because of tradeoffs necessary for their own package manager ecosystems.

To avoid the inability to upgrade quickly after a security release comes out, let's switch to Node Version Manager (nvm), Volta, or similar version manager for managing Node.js versions.

TODO

  • Research and document the best version manager for Node.js
    • Upsides and downsides of each version manager
      • Also consider the dependencies that are required for the version manager - on each of Windows, macOS and Linux
      • Can they be installed using Chocolatey, Homebrew, apt-get?
  • Remove Node.js from Windows, macOS and Linux System Setup guides
  • Add new package manager to Windows, macOS and Linux System Setup guides
