node_env:

manage virtual node environments.

purpose:

This little script takes inspiration from this article: https://medium.com/@jaheenafsarsyedks/how-to-create-a-virtual-environment-for-node-js-479c743ef137.

The aim of the project is to create a script able to manage node virtual environments, in a similar way to what Python does. I created this "repository" because other similar solutions did not work correctly with OSX.

Currently the system has been tested on OSX Catalina and Ubuntu, but should work on any unix-like system with wget and tar.

what is missing:

Much ... being a preliminary version at present it only supports OSX and Linux in x86 and x64 version, it completely lacks support for ARM or Windows systems.

Probably with a busybox portable it could also work on Windows, I'll test it as soon as possible.

usage:

node_env {NAME} {VERSION}, ex:

node_env my_env 12.12.0

then:

. my_env/bin/activate

or

node_env --list-version for installable versions

You can use the script directly from the network:

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/micheg/node_env/main/node_env | bash -s -- --list-version

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/micheg/node_env/main/node_env | bash -s my_env2 12.12.0

to do:

A lot of things.

status:

At the moment the status is stopped in "maintenance" I use this script in my projects but new features will not be added.
