INSIGHTSJAVA: MADE JAVA EASY

 n  is a Node.js version management: no sub-shells, no profile setup, no convoluted, just simple. Supported  Platforms  n  is supported on macOS, Linux, including with Windows Subsystem for Linux, and various other  unix-like systems. It is written as a BASH script but does not require you to use BASH as your command shell.  n  does not work in native shells on Microsoft Windows (like PowerShell), or Git for Windows BASH, or with the Cygwin DLL. Installation If you already have Node.js installed, an easy way to install  n  is using   npm  : sudo npm install -g n The   n  command downloads and installs to  /usr/local    by default. Installing Node.js Versions Simply execute  n  <version>  to download and install a version of Node.js. If  <version>  has already been downloaded,  n  will install from its cache. sudo n 10.16.0 sudo n 10 sudo n install 10 sudo n lts sudo n latest Execute  n  on its own to view your downloaded versions, and installed the selected version. %

As an aside, some people prefer to create code directly in the Terminal (rather than use an SDK). Here is how to compile and run Java from the Terminal in OS X. Open Terminal. Enter mkdir HelloWorld to create a new directory and cd HelloWorld to move into it. Enter touch HelloWorld.java to create an empty Java file. Now enter open HelloWorld.java to open and edit the file in default text editor. Or if you wish you can edit HelloWorld.java with your favourite editor ( type " open -e Helloworld.java " to open it in TextEdit). -e                   Opens with TextEdit. -t                   Opens with default text editor. ~/                  Opens with default text editor. In the default editor type out the following code: public class HelloWorld {      public static void main( String [] args) {          System .out.println( "Hello World!" );     } } Press Command+S to save the file and then close the editor. Now compile the program by entering javac Hel
