nvm's version has nothing to do with the node version, nvm installs
various node installs.

Also it works like rvm if you've ever used it. nvm installs releases in
it's own folder and when you `nvm use ???` it changes your environment
so that nvm's node, etc... are on your PATH, etc... instead of the
system node.

So it doesn't replace the system node and your env is not the env that
daemons execute in (if nvm did, your testing would have caused trouble
for other tools users by replacing node for their tools).

To get the daemon to use a different node version something will need to
be changed in the spawning of the daemon to invoke some nvm commands to
change what node is used to run the tool.
