Finding out the latest LTS version of Node.js via Command Line
I don't know about you, but I am finding the new layout on the Node.js website a bit confusing. It is virtually impossible to find out what the latest Node.js LTS (Long Term Support) version is these days. So I decided to find it out via Command Line using NVM (Node Version Manager).
Using the nvm command
Using nvm ls-remote --lts
NVM (Node Version Manager) has a command that checks for all the remote LTS and Latest: LTS versions of Node.js available for install. It is the following:
nvm ls-remote --lts
And it returns the following in Terminal:
v4.2.0 (LTS: Argon) v4.2.1 (LTS: Argon) v4.2.2 (LTS: Argon) v4.2.3 (LTS: Argon) v4.2.4 (LTS: Argon) v4.2.5 (LTS: Argon) v4.2.6 (LTS: Argon) v4.3.0 (LTS: Argon) v4.3.1 (LTS: Argon) v4.3.2 (LTS: Argon)

Piping nvm ls-remote to the grep command version 1
In order to only return the latest LTS versions of Node.js that contain '(Latest LTS:', I run the following:
nvm ls-remote --lts | grep '(Latest LTS:'
Which returns:
v4.9.1 (Latest LTS: Argon) v6.17.1 (Latest LTS: Boron) v8.17.0 (Latest LTS: Carbon) v10.24.1 (Latest LTS: Dubnium) v12.22.12 (Latest LTS: Erbium) v14.21.3 (Latest LTS: Fermium) v16.20.2 (Latest LTS: Gallium) v18.20.4 (Latest LTS: Hydrogen) v20.17.0 (Latest LTS: Iron)
Much better, right? We see more quickly that the latest LTS version of Node.js is v20.17.0!
Piping nvm ls-remote to the grep command version 2
Conversely, if I only wanted to return all "LTS" versions of Node.js, excluding "latest LTS versions", I could run the following:
nvm ls-remote --lts | grep '(LTS:'
Which returns:
v4.2.0 (LTS: Argon) v4.2.1 (LTS: Argon) v4.2.2 (LTS: Argon) v4.2.3 (LTS: Argon) v4.2.4 (LTS: Argon) v4.2.5 (LTS: Argon) v4.2.6 (LTS: Argon) v4.3.0 (LTS: Argon) v4.3.1 (LTS: Argon) v4.3.2 (LTS: Argon)

If you want to list only the "latest" LTS versions that are the "latest" latest LTS versions of Node.js, filtering out the versions that are only "LTS", you can use the nvm ls-remote --lts | grep '(Latest LTS:' command instead of just nvm ls-remote --lts.
Bonus: finding the current version of Node.js
Using nvm ls-remote
If instead, I want to find the latest (Current) version of Node,js, I run the following command in Terminal:
nvm ls-remote
Which returns:

nvm ls-remote lists all remote versions available for install: 'LTS', 'Latest: LTS', and 'Current'.
Piping nvm ls-remote to grep -v
The best I can do here (so far) to reduce the length of the list, is to exclude any versions with '(Latest LTS:' or 'LTS' or '^\d\*[02468]$'.
The regex '^\d\*[02468]$' means all versions ending in an even number. But we are excluding them since we are running grep -v '^\d*[02468]$'. grep -v followed by a regex pattern or string pattern means to exclude anything that matches that pattern in the search results. As you will see in the below output, the first, second, or last number (vx.x.x) in the versions returned from the command end in odd numbers.
nvm ls-remote | grep -v '(Latest LTS:' | grep -v 'LTS' | grep -v '^\d*[02468]$'
Returns:

And the latest Node.js Current is v22.7.0.
With the nvm ls-remote command, 792 versions (793 -1 because the last line is an empty next line) are returned, the last one being the latest current version of Node.js (22.7.0), and 560 versions (561-1) are returned using the nvm ls-remote | grep -v '(Latest LTS:' | grep -v 'LTS' | grep -v "^\d*[02468]$" command, the last one being the latest current version of Node.js (22.7.0) as well. How did I get those numbers? By appending | wc -l to either nvm ls-remote | grep -v '(Latest LTS:' | grep -v 'LTS' | grep -v "^\d*[02468]$" or nvm ls-remote. Like the following:
nvm ls-remote | grep -v '(Latest LTS:' | grep -v 'LTS' | grep -v "^\d*[02468]$" | wc -l # shorter version # or: nvm ls-remote | wc -l # long version
Returning only the latest (last) Node.js Current version returned from nvm ls-remote
Piping nvm ls-remote to grep and tail
However, I can take it even a step further and just return the latest (last) Node.js Current with the following command:
nvm ls-remote | grep -v '(Latest LTS:' | grep -v 'LTS' | grep -v '^\d*[02468]$' | tail -n 1
Which returns:
v22.8.0
I can double check to make sure this is right (at first I thought it wasn't because earlier the latest Node.js Current was 22.7.0) by running the nvm ls-remote command again. This time, v22.8.0 WAS the latest Node.js Current!
Piping nvm ls-remote to tail only
I can also make the above command much more succinct by running the following:
nvm ls-remote | tail -n 1
Which ALSO returns:
v22.8.0
The tail -n 1 command
The tail -n 1 command displays the last line of the matches returned by nvm ls-remote. The nvm ls-remote command is piped to the tail -n 1 command, which means that only the last Node.js Current (version) returned from the nvm ls-remote command is displayed.
Since I was able to use tail -n 1 with nvm ls-remote, I should be able to use it with nvm ls-remote --lts:
nvm ls-remote --lts | grep '(Latest LTS:' | tail -n 1
Which returned the following:
v20.17.0 (Latest LTS: Iron)
Success! I was also able to use tail -n 1 with nvm ls-remote --lts to display only the latest 'Latest LTS:' version of Node.js.
Should I use Node.js LTS or Current?
Node.js LTS contains stable and safe features for long term support (LTS). Node.js Current includes an experimental phase with a high probability of bugs and errors, so should only be used in local development. It is always better to use the (latest) LTS version, because a lot of experimental features in Node.js Current are removed in LTS versions.
Conclusion
In this article, I showed the steps I took to figure out how to return only the latest 'Latest: LTS' version of Node.js and only the latest Node.js Current (version) using the nvm, grep, and tail commands in conjunction with the pipe (|) operator. By using these commands, I no longer have to depend on going onto the Node.js website to find out the latest LTS: Latest and latest Node Current versions, or to scroll through hundreds of versions to get to the bottom of the output of nvm ls-remote or nvm ls-remote --lts to find out what those versions are!
