Attempting to install nvm on aws ubuntu instance

votes

I am using this command.

nvm - curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.1/install.sh | bash

This is the error I get: No command 'nvm' found, did you mean: Command 'pvm' from package 'pvm' (universe) etc.

My .bashrc looks like this at the bottom:

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

And my .profile looks like this:

# set PATH so it includes user's private bin directories
[[ -s $HOME/.nvm/nvm.sh ]] && . $HOME/.nvm/nvm.sh
source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh

node -v

v6.10.2

What is the problem here? All help is appreciated. I can provide more information if needed.

The command you want to run is:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.1/install.sh | bash

you cannot run nvm if you haven't install it and is not in the ubuntu repositories.

You need to have curl installed so might need to install it:

sudo apt-get install curl

Curl downloads the install.sh script and pipe it to bash to run it.

Remember to source your .bashrc afte running the script:

source ~/.bashrc

npm config delete prefix

or nvm use --delete-prefix v8.11.3 --silent
