title: Install additional node versions in Plesk Onyx
body: <p><strong>This a guidance not a problem to solve, to help those which have the same issue I had</strong></p>
  
  <p>Enable Node support in Plesk Onyx:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Install the <a href="https://www.plesk.com/blog/product-technology/node-js-plesk-onyx/" rel="noreferrer">"Node support"</a> simply from your "update and updates" Plesk interface.</li>
  <li>Go to your <a href="https://ext.plesk.com/packages/1e47ed49-bca9-46d6-8828-7d3c42a2f21b-nodejs" rel="noreferrer">"Node extension" page</a> enable/disable the node versions you need</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>In case you need additional node versions which does not come with the default node support installation:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Install the <a href="https://github.com/creationix/nvm" rel="noreferrer"><strong>N</strong>ode <strong>V</strong>ersion <strong>M</strong>anager</a> on your server</li>
  <li>Install the versions you need e.g. <code>nvm install v4.8.4</code></li>
  <li>Copy paste the node version to plesk <code>cp -R ~/.nvm/versions/node/v4.8.4/ /opt/plesk/node/</code></li>
  <li>Then notify your plesk about your installation <code>plesk sbin nodemng register /opt/plesk/node/v4.8.4/bin/node</code></li>
  <li>Go to your node extension page where all node versions are listed, hit refresh and voilá </li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I had some troubles installing additional node versions into Plesk to run my meteorJS app on my server instead of their hosting service.</p>
