Pengwin: Give users the option to install NodeJS with nvm
Describe the solution you'd like
I am always using nvm to manage NodeJS version and I have got used to it now. So I am wonder whether wlinux can give an option for install NodeJS using nvm besides n when run wlinux-setup.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I know I can simply choose not to install NodeJS and install nvm later, but I think add nvm to wlinux setup is not a bad idea.

Can I ask why you prefer nvm over n?

Just I said. I am just get used to it.
Also, nvm doesn't required NodeJS to install (If n have to install without NodeJS it have to compile the code to get the binary). When I'm using nvm, I can run npm i -g without sudo. nvm can also separate the packages which installed by npm i -g from different Node version.

We are looking at a new method of managing multiple dev environments and versions.
We could look at including nvm in this too.
What do you think @grufwub?

I added support for this under my current virtual-lang-envs project :+1: we just need to figure out what's happening with this

This is currently being tested in dev branch and works well. Expect to be pulled into master branch in next week or so.
