```
brew install nvm

3. **Manually Install NVM (Alternative Method):**
- If you prefer to install NVM manually, you can download and run the NVM installation script from the official NVM repository on GitHub.

4. **Verify NVM Installation:**
- Once NVM is installed, verify that it's correctly set up on your system. In the Terminal, type:
```
nvm --version
```
