Node Version Manager install - nvm command not found

Question

I am trying to install NVM as per these instructions

I typed in this command in terminal:

$ curl https://raw.github.com/creationix/nvm/master/instal         


        

Answer 1

Add the following lines to the files ~/.bashrc and ~/.bash_profile :

# NVM changes
export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"

and restart the terminal or do source ~/.bashrc or source ~/.bash_profile. If you need command completion for nvm then also add the line:

[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion"

Along with the above lines to ~/.bashrc and ~/.bash_profile.

I had fixed this problem.

1. touch ~/.bash_profile
2. open ~/.bash_profile
3. pasteexport NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm" [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm [ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" # This loads nvm bash_completion

Answer 3

For me this worked. First check that the file .bashrc has following line

[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm

Now bashrc is loaded for each terminal session. Thus restart the terminal so that it is loaded again and you should be good to go.

For MacOS;

Run on Terminal >

open ~/.bash_profile

Paste all of this=

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm

Answer 5

After trying multiple steps, not sure what was the problem in my case but running this helped:

touch ~/.bash_profile
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.32.1/install.sh | bash

Verified by nvm --version

Answer 6

I think you missed this step:

source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh

You can run this command on the bash OR you can put it in the file /.bashrc or ~/.profile or ~/.zshrc to automatically load it
