NVM doesn't work on Windows-based systems, so it would be cool to make a remark here for Windows users to just install 0.12.7 straight away.

(PS: there is nvmw and similar tools, but IMO they all are a real pain to use...)

Yeah, I linked to nvm-windows in the Windows implementation - because it's really hard to find the different versions on Node's site. Is nvm-windows not a good solution?

@Student007 curious to get your take as well

@Frijol sorry - I am out of time today - I assume I will not be free next weekdays.

The best way to verify is to use my reference machines - that way you will also see some traps. You need to rewrite/cleanup the vagrant file to execute curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.23.2/install.sh | bash and following steps.
Note: The MacOS X reference machine needs up to 20 hours to download the image. But after done once you can work with it like the Windows- and Linux- VMs.

Hope my hard work at this reference images will be payed by being useful at this point 👍

Can we have both brew and nvm instructions?
