I can't find the location of node.js installations, downloaded and installed via e.g.:

Do you know the answer?

nvm which 5.0 Will give you the path where that version of Node.js is installed

Thanks, man! (My bad, I overlooked the answer in the manual). In my case the path was `/home/bob/.nvm/versions/node/v5.4.1/bin/node`. – Boris Burkov Jan 13 '16 at 15:41

This answer is outdated. The `nvm root` answer should now be accepted. – Corné Jan 18 '22 at 00:31

My version of nvm (1.1.7) does not have nvm which. The command nvm root does show the "directory where nvm should store different versions of node.js".

Another command that can be used to find where nvm installs various versions of Node.js:

which node

Note: It works only if your system is using a version of Node.js installed via nvm and not via some other route.
