Working with Node nightly builds

fnm doesn't give you any shorthands to install nightly builds, but you can do that by manually passing a "dist mirror" with the --node-dist-mirror flag.

Example usage

Here's an example of installing Node 23.

To get a list of available versions run this:

fnm --node-dist-mirror https://nodejs.org/download/nightly/ ls-remote

To use and install nightly version run this:

fnm --node-dist-mirror https://nodejs.org/download/nightly/ use 23
# or
fnm --node-dist-mirror https://nodejs.org/download/nightly/ use v23.0.0-nightly202407253de7a4c374

Once you installed it you would be able to see that version in you list:

fnm ls

And use it without providing --node-dist-mirror flag:

fnm use 23
