I am trying to downgrade my version of node

I ran:

npm install nvm

and I exported the bin folder to my Windows path variable, 

C:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs\node_modules\npm\bin

but I still get:

'nvm' is not recognized as a an internal or external command.

Should I be adding another path to my path variable?
