Using manager to install node version | ReactJS

There is a good manager that will help you with all node versions. It's called nvm(Node version manager).

https://github.com/creationix/nvm

All install guides are on git page. I install it like this.

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.31.0/install.sh -o install_nvm.sh

bash install_nvm.sh

Check to see if everything installed correctly

nvm --version

Then when you want update node you can just do

nvm install 6.9.1 (or any version you like)

nvm alias default 6.9.1

nvm use default

After restarting of your terminal run

node -v you should have 6.9.1 installed and used.

Hope this helps.
