# Interactively Browse Available Node Versions
|
|
|
|
There are a variety of ways to install and manage your version(s) of Node. My
|
|
tool of choice is [`asdf`](https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf).
|
|
|
|
Once I have the [Node.js asdf plugin](https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf-nodejs)
|
|
installed, I can view the versions of Node that are available to install.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ asdf list-all nodejs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This is a massive list. Normally my next step would be to `grep` against the
|
|
output. We can take it a step further by making the results interactively
|
|
browsable with [`FZF`](https://github.com/junegunn/fzf).
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ asdf list-all nodejs | fzf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
I can type into the FZF prompt which will fuzzily narrow down the results. I
|
|
can even add a splash of regex to anchor agains the major version.
|
|
|
|
For instance, `10` will show `10.x.x` as well as pre-1.0 results that contain
|
|
`10`. If, however, I prompt FZF with `^10`, then the `10` is anchored to the
|
|
front of the string which is the major version -- so `10.x.x` results.
