### Choosing a specific version
**Latest**
```bash
export NODEJS_VER=""
```
**Exact**
```bash
export NODEJS_VER="v10.2.1"
```
**Latest of vX.Y.Z**
```bash
export NODEJS_VER="v8.1"

**Latest of vX.YY.Z**
```bash
# latest of v8.11.x
export NODEJS_VER="v8.11"
```
**Latest of vX.Y**
```bash
export NODEJS_VER="v10"

Fun FYI, here's how the latest version is determined:
```bash
NODEJS_VER=$(curl -fsSL https://nodejs.org/dist/index.tab | tail -n +2 | cut -f 1 | head -1 )
echo "The current node.js version is $NODEJS_VER"
