You install nvm first (Node Version Manager):

https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm

Then you say nvm install <version>.

And when you want to upgrade... it's as easy as nvm install <version>

And you can switch between Node versions:

nvm use <version>`

And by adding a .nvmrc file into the root of your project, you can wire up your shell to automatically switch to the version of Node.js specified in the .nvmrc file.

install LTS version `14.17.1` but installed current version 16.4.0 – Sarthak Raval Jun 26 '21 at 05:29
Just use the proper incantation if you want version 14 (`lts/fermium`): Just say `nvm install --lts=fermium` – Nicholas Carey Jun 28 '21 at 19:40
Node.js v--lts=fermium.0.0 is only available in 32-bit. – Sarthak Raval Jul 02 '21 at 03:38
