nvm is not compatible with the npm config “prefix” option:

Question

I am trying to run another NodeJS version with nvm but getting this error:

$ nvm use v4.2.4

nvm is not compatible with the npm config \"prefix\         


        

Answer 1

Let me describe my situation.

First, check the current config

$ nvm use --delete-prefix v10.7.0
$ npm config list

Then, I found the error config in output:

; project config /mnt/c/Users/paul/.npmrc
prefix = "/mnt/c/Users/paul/C:\\Program Files\\nodejs"

So, I deleted the C:\\Program Files\\nodejs in /mnt/c/Users/paul/.npmrc.
