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

OSX 10.15.0 Catalina (released November 2019) changed the default shell to zsh.

The default shell was previously bash.

The installation command given on the nvm GitHub page needs to be tweaked to include "zsh" at the end.

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/master/install.sh | zsh

Note: you might need to ensure the .rc file for zsh is present beforehand:

touch ~/.zsrhrc
