I am trying to install node.js by downloading the .exe file, I am confused and stuck on the Node.js setup where in it asks to install node.js runtime or
Node and Nodejs are the same. Interchangeable names for the same
thing. Unless someone is talking about graph theory, trees or data

Nvm is a Nodejs version manager. It let's you easily install and
switch between versions. It retains globally installed packages for
each version.
Npm is a package manager. It let's you install software (libraries,
plugins, frameworks and applications). Typically this software is
installed to build Node applications. Sometimes it isn't.
Put more simply. Npm depends on Node. Nvm installs Node.
