For node version management in windows I have used nvm-windows.

As per steps mentioned in documentation executed the following command,

To Install Node.js v8

nvm install 8.9.4

To use it as default version,

nvm use 8.9.4

After setting up nodejs v8 as default version, When i tried to verify the node js version using command (node -v). Am getting error as Node is not recognized as an internal or external command

I didn't got any error while installing node, but "node" is not recognized.

Note: Am running my command prompt as Adminstrator, NVM environment variables properties are,

  1. NVM_HOME - C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming\nvm

  2. NVM_SYMLINK - C:\Program Files\nodejs

When I checked the folder C:\Program Files\nodejs, The folder is empty, None of the node executable files was found.
