Overview

This module will install nvm and use it to install nodejs versions on a per user basis. This allows you to have multiple nvm installations per system such as using one user/nvm install per application running.

Usage

This module requires the user you want to install nvm for to already exist.

user{'bob':
  ensure     => present,
  managehome => true,
}

nvm{'bob':
  versions        => ["10.40", "stable", "12.6"]
  default_version => "stable"
}
