It is a must feature.

This would be great!

This would help streamline developer machine setups for frontend devs, a lot.

It seems there is a tool provided by Microsoft to make this easier, https://github.com/microsoft/winget-create

I am willing to create a package manifest and send "NVM for Windows" to Windows Package Manager (Winget) if they add a release without a .zip archive as winget does not understand archives.

Very interested on this feature 👀

This has now been added under the id CoreyButler.NVMforWindows - see: https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows/discussions/705#discussioncomment-2650131

Semi-related: nvm exists on Chocolatey - but nvm does not work after install without restarting Powershell (despite all attempts to refresh the env vars). I'll open a new issue on this.

Hi, it seems we already have a package, thanks Corey!.

 winget install CoreyButler.NVMforWindows

[fowl2]

Is there some way to make winget install nvm work?
