Feedback

• Add vfox as an Alternative version managers in Install Node.js on Windows. I refer to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/dev-environment/javascript/nodejs-on-windows .
• Currently, for https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/dev-environment/javascript/nodejs-on-wsl#alternative-version-managers , it mentions that WSL can use n,fnm,Volta,asdf-vm,nvs as Alternative version managers for nvm. But for https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/dev-environment/javascript/nodejs-on-windows#alternative-version-managers , it mentions that Windows can only use nvs,Volta as Alternative version managers for nvm-windows.

• The asdf-vm mentioned in the document cannot be used under native Windows 11, and there is a long-standing unresolved issue Windows support? Docs & tests for WSL2 asdf-vm/asdf#450 .
• In order to align the behavior, I think the https://github.com/version-fox/vfox mentioned in the document Windows support? Docs & tests for WSL2 asdf-vm/asdf#450 (comment) is a better choice. I tested it under PowerShell 7 under Windows and it behaves fine.

winget install version-fox.vfox

if (-not (Test-Path -Path $PROFILE)) { New-Item -Type File -Path $PROFILE -Force }; Add-Content -Path $PROFILE -Value 'Invoke-Expression "$(vfox activate pwsh)"'

# Open a new PowerShell 7 terminal
vfox add nodejs
vfox install nodejs@18.20.7
vfox use --global nodejs@18.20.7
corepack enable
npm --version
node --version
corepack --version
