The first thing that we need to do is install NVM.

Uninstall existing version of node since we won’t be using it anymore
Delete any existing nodejs installation directories. e.g. “C:\Program Files\nodejs”) that might remain. NVM’s generated symlink will not overwrite an existing (even empty) installation directory.
Delete the npm install directory at C:\Users[Your User]\AppData\Roaming\npm We are now ready to install nvm. Download the installer from https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm/releases

To upgrade, run the new installer. It will safely overwrite the files it needs to update without touching your node.js installations. Make sure you use the same installation and symlink folder. If you originally installed to the default locations, you just need to click “next” on each window until it finishes.

First off  I use nvm on linux machine    When looking at the documentation for nvm at https   www npmjs org package nvm  it recommendations that you install nvm globally using the -g switch   npm install -g nvm   Also there is a   in the path variable that they recommend   export PATH   node modules  bin  PATH   so maybe your path should be   C  Program Files  x86  nodejs node modules npm   bin
