# Node Version Manager [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/creationix/nvm.svg?branch=master)][3]
## Why? Node has a package manager, NPM, right?
## Why? Node has a package manager, npm, right?
Yes, it does. `nvm` manages different versions of the node interpreter and core libraries. Node is powerful, but the power of the Node ecosystem is the thousands of user-contributed libraries. If you want additional libraries and tools, you use `npm` for that.

So why `nvm`? Your operating system typically has one supported version of a programming language environment. So when developers want you to use any other version but the one installed in your operating system, you can't install these packages with `npm` because you have the wrong version of Node. With `nvm`, you have the power and flexibility to run many different versions of the Node platform simultaneously: for development, for testing, for daily use, the way you see fit.
