Node Version Management Volta is a modern NodeJS runtime and tooling manager similar to NVM . An advantage of Volta over nvm is that it can store metadata about the running version of node in a  package.json file an install the correct version of node. Install specific tools and runtimes with  volta install node@ npm@ Example Package.json Content When you run  volta pin node@18.19.0 you might find that something similar to the below is injected into your package.json file: "volta": { "node": "18.19.0" }
