Editing My Node Version Manager (NVM) notes

== NVM on my Ubuntu VM ==

There are multiple ways to install NVM. I used NVM BASH script and instructions located  
[https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm#installing-and-updating here].

== NVM on Dreamhost ==

'''NOTE: What makes Dreamhost cool is the ease in which things can be setup. There is nothing easy about setting up Node.js, NVM, and getting Node apps to work on Dreamhost shared virtual systems. I found it much easier to setup my own VM for development then get a new hosting provider for my Node.js apps. I plan to migrate all my hosting to Node.js hosting provider unless Dreamhost natively supports Node.js.'''
