    Read the Node.js [Long Term Support (LTS) schedule](https://nodejs.org/en/about/releases/ "Releases | Node.js") to have more understanding of their release roadmap. List of all [previous releases](https://nodejs.org/en/download/releases/ "Previous Releases | Node.js") is also useful for finding details about Node.js release history.

    [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/) package repository has a lot of packages to discover.
    Have a good time with the freshly installed tools.


    ## Migrating packages from a previous Node.js version

    If you already have existing Node.js version via `nvm`, you can migrate older packages from the installed Node.js versions.

    - Open new Terminal window (to make sure you have latest Node.js version active in your command line environment).
    - Before running next commands, remember to switch to the right version of Node with `nvm use` command.
    For example:
    - `nvm use v20.3.1`
    - `nvm use v18.12.1`
    - `nvm use v16.20.1`
    - `nvm use v20.11.1`
    - `nvm use v21.6.2`
    - Linking global packages from previous version:
    - `nvm reinstall-packages v18.12.1`
    - `nvm reinstall-packages v16.19.0`
    - `nvm reinstall-packages v20.3.1`
    - `nvm reinstall-packages v18.16.1`

    ### Deleting old Node.js versions

    - Check installed Node.js versions with:
    - `nvm ls`
    - Delete an older version (if you don't use it in some of your projects):
