Node.js version management: no subshells, no profile setup, no convoluted API, just simple. n is not supported natively on Windows. There are a variety of ways of specifying the target Node.js version for n commands. Most commands use the latest matching version, and n ls-remote lists multiple matching versions. n downloads a prebuilt Node.js package and installs to a single prefix (e.g. /usr/local). This overwrites the previous version. The bin folder in this location should be in your PATH (e.g. /usr/local/bin). The downloads are kept in a cache folder to be used for reinstalls. The downloads are also available for limited use using n which and n run and n exec. The global npm packages are not changed by the install, with the exception of npm itself which is part of the Node.js install.

The winget-pkgs repository is the community-maintained manifest collection for the Windows Package Manager (winget), serving as the default, upstream source of installable application manifests used by the winget client. It contains tens of thousands of manifest files (organized under a manifests/ folder) plus schema, validation, CI pipelines, and tooling to build, test, and publish packages so users can install software with a single command. The repo enforces contribution processes (including a Contributor License Agreement flow for many contributors), automated validation checks, and publishing pipelines so manifests meet format, checksum, and licensing expectations before becoming available to users. Maintainers document manifest authoring, testing, and request workflows, and the repository requires installers to be packaged as supported installer formats (MSIX, MSI, APPX, or executable installers), with script-based installers and fonts noted as unsupported.
