Thoughts on nvm?

[wyze]

nvm is a nice tool used to setup and manage Node versions. It doesn't cause permission issues when installing as Homebrew might. It has same instructions for OSX/Linux.

Thoughts on making it the recommended way to install Node on OSX/Linux? If not recommended, what about mentioning it as an alternate?

I'd recommend it for anyone who might be using more than one version, but
I've always had people install 4x directly during workshops as it's more
strait forward.

There was another thread discussing this, on mobile now so can't link though...

I personally feel that it just complicates things for our end users, and as far as I know you'll still have the permissions problem with nvm as well? The easy fix for the permissions problem is to never use sudo in front of npm...

Oops, I should have searched first! Looks like #55 is still open for discussion. So I will close this in favor of that one.
