I recently fresh-installed Ubuntu 21.04 and wanted to install nvm:
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.38.0/install.sh | bash
Then closed and re-opened the terminal. When requesting an install of version 12.16.3 (have tried with other versions as well). I'm getting the following error:
nvm install 12.16.3

NVM (Node Version Manager) is the best way to run multiple versions of NodeJS on the same machine. It's not only for Windows but in this post I will talk about my experience to install NVM on a Windows machine without Admin Rights.
Open a CMD prompt (run as administrator), and install the downloaded version of nvm, nvm-setup.exe, from within this CMD command prompt. From within the admin level command prompt, run "nvm install 7.2. 1", or whatever node version you want to install.

Turns out the problem was with curl and that I had installed it with snap instead of regular apt install curl.

uninstall curl installed with snap
sudo snap remove curl
install curl from apt
sudo apt install curl
