How to run "nvm" in "oh my zsh"?

Question

In the system there is a nodejs, installed through nvm. The command is not running npm. Console is Oh my zsh

Answer 1

You can use zsh-nvm or enable it yourself by adding following lines to your ~/.zshrc

 export NVM_DIR=~/.nvm  [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" 

Extra:

For faster shell initialization, I use lazynvm which only loads node when needed

lazynvm() {   unset -f nvm node npm   export NVM_DIR=~/.nvm   [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"  # This loads nvm }  nvm() {   lazynvm    nvm $@ }  node() {   lazynvm   node $@ }  npm() {   lazynvm   npm $@ }

Switching from Bash to Oh-My-Zsh

If you already have nvm installed and you're switching from bash to oh-my-zsh you can simply open up your .zshrc file and add the nvm plugin that is included with oh-my-zsh:

1. Open your zsh config file.zshrc in nano with this command: nano ~/.zshrc
2. Scroll down to where it shows plugins=(git) and add nvm inside the parentheses to make it show as plugins=(git nvm) (separate plugins with spaces)
3. Press control + O (on macOS), then enter, to save, then press control + X to exit
4. Then open a new terminal window/tab and enter nvm ls to confirm it works. Note that you must open a new window/tab for your shell to use the newly updated .zshrc config (or enter source ~/.zshrc, etc.)
