Fresh install of NVM won't work

Question

Went to use NVM today, and I got this error.

This is not the package you are looking for: please go to http://nvm.sh

So I went there, and installed the new version. Installation went through, but I still get the same error when I try to run it. I deleted the .nvm folder, and tried reinstalling. Nothing is working.

Is there a way to fix this error, or another way to downgrade my version of node?

Answer 1

see http://nvm.sh

https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm/blob/master/README.md#install--update-script and run the script that starts with wget:

It should look like this:

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash

But go copy the script from the link, cause the version might change. After you do this, close and reopen your terminal.

1. After a long troubleshooting, I got it working on mac OS:

   curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.35.3/install.sh | bash
   

2. Add the following lines in your .zshrc or .bash_profile file:

   export NVM_HOME=/Users/your-user/.nvm
   
   export PATH=${PATH}:${NVM_HOME}
   
   source ${NVM_HOME}/nvm.sh
   

Note: Replace your-user in the above command with your home directory name.

3. Restart the terminal.

4. Verify:

   nvm --version
