How do I set a system wide node version installed via nvm?
I use nvm to manage my node versions, but programs that don't start a shell and don't include ~/.nvm/nvm.sh don't know where to find node.
Intellij for example can start node programms via package.json scripts and you can use it in their terminal, but you can't use node programms from node_modules/.bin like flow from the flow-bin package.
Currently I do some manual setup of symlinks like
$ dirname `which node`
/home/me/.nvm/versions/node/v8.9.0/bin
$ export NODE_PATH="/home/me/.nvm/versions/node/v8.9.0/bin"
$ dirname `which node` | xargs ls
node npm npx yarn yarnpkg
for c in `ls $NODE_PATH` ; do
sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/$c" "$c" "$NODE_PATH/$c" 1100
sudo update-alternatives --set "$c" "$NODE_PATH/$c"
done
Is there a easier way to persist those settings and get rid of dangling old entries?

You can set the system-wide Node.js version by typing
nvm alias default 11.10.0
Install the version that you would like:
nvm install 11.10.0
Set 11.10.0 (or another version) as default:
nvm alias default 6.1.0
Verify the current version by running node -v or nvm current

Hi Parvez, thank you for your answer. Sadly it doesn't help with programs that don't start a shell and don't include ~/.nvm/nvm.sh as described in the answer.
