Best way to have a default installation

[yoannmoinet]

I don't know if I have a misconfiguration or missing something, but I had to run nvmw use iojs or node each time my cmd is opened. Or else I couldn't use npm or any other global packages I've installed.

I've checked, and everything's correct, I have nvmw in my path.
But nothing for either iojs's or nodejs's npm.

So I've added nvmw's nodejs installation path into my System Path, to at least have nodejs as a default.

Is this correct? Because I can't set a default one from nvmw itself, for example if I decide to use iojs as a default, I'll have to set it myself into my System Path.

Docs would be great for this default configuration I guess.

google found out the solution: http://superuser.com/questions/144347/is-there-windows-equivalent-of-the-bashrc-file-in-linux

In my test win8, I write two bat scripts:

• cmd.bat

cmd.exe \k cmdrc.bat

• cmdrc.bat

nvmw use iojs

So I run cmd.bat to auto use iojs by default every time.

I already have a default, which is the one I've added manually to my Path (this is what nvmw does).
I don't need extra files for this, and use the same install of nodejs as nvmw.
But it's not my problem per se.

With both our solutions, if we decide to use the one that is not default, we'll need to make the change everytime we re-open the cmd. Or manually change something (Path or cmdrc.bat).

I think nvmw should change the default via nvmw use [default] and persist the choice accross cmd's sessions.

@yoannmoinet I agree

I'm currently working on a PR to add this feature.
I'll be able to post it this evening.
