Node version is not persisting after update with NVM

Question

I updated my node version from 8.x.x to 13.x.x using the cmds below:

nvm install stable

Running node -v immediately after this, shows the updated version. But re-opening the terminal the older version of node persists.

I had to do: nvm use 13 to enable node 13.x.x

What is the ideal way to keep using the latest node version with explicitly using nvm use every time?

Have you tried using alias: nvm alias default x.x.x – wakakak Mar 05 '20 at 03:10 — wakakak, Mar 05 '20 at 03:10
@GlenK `nvm alias default 13` solved the issue :) – Abrar Mar 05 '20 at 09:53 — Abrar, Mar 05 '20 at 09:53

nvm alias default 13

This solved the issue and set the node version permanent to 13.x.x

There must be something else going on because that doesn't work on my Mac OS 13.2.1 ``` ➜ graphqlTest node -v v16.13.2 ➜ graphqlTest nvm alias default node default -> node (-> v18.16.0) ➜ graphqlTest node -v v16.13.2 ``` – Mike S. Jul 05 '23 at 19:28
