I installed nvm and than run nvm install latest
. I then just couldn't use npm
and it took me some time to figure out that in addition to install
I need to run use
.
If I look at nvm
from a point of view where I'm only interested in keeping my node
and npm
installation uptodate, I only want to install nvm
, run install latest
and be done.
What I suggest is that nvm automatically runs use xy
after install latest
.
Can definitely see the benefits. Changing this could have some consequences? Thinking of backward compatibility. Maybe a flag could be set? E.g. nvm install -u latest
where -u
would run the nvm use VERSION
command after installation.
Another approach could be enhancing nvm use
to install the version if the version isn't installed. Example, running nvm use latest
would trigger NVM4W to check if a never version was available, install it, then use it.
