You can create an `.nvmrc` file containing version number in the project root directory (or any parent directory). `nvm use`, `nvm install`, `nvm exec`, `nvm run`, and `nvm which` will all respect an `.nvmrc` file when a version is not supplied. +Please note that your `.nvmrc` file must include a string used by `nvm` to identify a version. This means `stable` and `iojs` are valid, as is `v0.12.7`, but `0.12` will not be understood. + To download, compile, and install the latest v0.10.x release of node, do this: nvm install 0.10
