You can install nvm on the fly before building, in a local directory with NVM_DIR without setting it as global dependency :

mkdir -p node_dir
export NVM_DIR=$(pwd)/node_dir
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.1/install.sh | bash
source $(pwd)/node_dir/nvm.sh
nvm install 7
nvm use 7

The new locations are :

$ which node
~/someDir/node_dir/versions/node/v7.7.2/bin/node

$ which npm
~/someDir/node_dir/versions/node/v7.7.2/bin/npm
