Feature request

Please include the following information:

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A clear and concise description of what the problem is. E.g. I'm always frustrated when [...]

• This is what I noticed in investigation Extremely slow NPM actions on WSL2 #2390 .

Describe the solution you'd like.
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

• Make graalnodejs-community available in nvm-sh/nvm and coreybutler/nvm-windows.

• It is mentioned at https://github.com/oracle/graaljs?tab=readme-ov-file#standalone-distribution that the way to install graalnodejs-community is to download the Standalone Distribution binary through github. But in fact, this is not a common practice for NodeJS developers.

• On Linux, NodeJS developers manage local NodeJS instances through nvm-sh/nvm at https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm . The role of nvm-sh/nvm in the NodeJS world is somewhat similar to the role of SDKMAN! in the Java world.

• On Windows, NodeJS developers manage local NodeJS instances through coreybutler/nvm-windows at https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows . coreybutler/nvm-windows uses syntax similar to nvm-sh/nvm to make nvm available on Windows. Microsoft considers it the default recommended multi-version NodeJS manager, refer to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/dev-environment/javascript/nodejs-on-windows .

• Making graalnodejs-community available in nvm-sh/nvm and coreybutler/nvm-windows will help developers update graalnodejs-community in an easy way, just like switching GraalVM versions via SDKMAN!.

• The effect might look like this.

1. For bash on Ubuntu 22.04.3

cd /tmp
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.7/install.sh | bash
source ~/.bashrc
nvm install 23.1.2-graalnodejs-community
nvm use 23.1.2-graalnodejs-community

2. For Windows PowerShell 5.1 or PowerShell 7 with elevated Admin permissions on Windows 11

winget install -e --id CoreyButler.NVMforWindows --source winget
nvm install 23.1.2-graalnodejs-community
nvm use 23.1.2-graalnodejs-community

Describe who do you think will benefit the most.
GraalVM users, GraalVM contributors, developers of libraries and frameworks which depend on GraalVM, or somebody else?

• developers of libraries and frameworks which depend on NodeJS.

Describe alternatives you've considered.
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

• As described in Extremely slow NPM actions on WSL2 #2390, npm for graalnodejs-community seems to be a reimplementation. In the NodeJS world, changing the package manager is not through nvm-sh/nvm or coreybutler/nvm-windows, but through nodejs/corepack. I'm not sure if the community needs to add graalnodejs-community support at https://github.com/nodejs/corepack .

• It sounds like installing normal NodeJS first.

cd /tmp
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.7/install.sh | bash
source ~/.bashrc
nvm install 18
nvm use 18
corepack enable

• Then set packageManager in package.json of a specific project.

• This seems to involve changes to the release process of graaljs. I'm not sure what I can do.

• @TheTaha-Alamine I saw you self-assigned the current issue and I was wondering if there was any progress? Because graalnodejs-community seems to have the same issue as oven-sh/bun, there isn't a non-rate-limited URL for listing all its available versions. Refer to maybe even support bun.js? nvm-sh/nvm#3189 .
