Nvm: Installed the new version, but it won't open

[davidwieler]

I get:

This is not the package you are looking for: please go to http://nvm.sh

[ljharb]

The nvm on npm is not correct (and never has been). Instead, please install with the curl command in the readme of this repository.

[davidwieler]

Thanks for closing the question....

That's exactly what I did, and it still didn't work.
Used:
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.31.4/install.sh | bash

Still get the error

[ljharb]

You also need to npm uninstall -g nvm as well. I'll be happy to leave this open until you've fixed your issue, if you prefer.

[davidwieler]

Yep, still doesn't work. Did that already.
Doesn't matter how I remove nvm. It still gives me the the error after installing it fresh

[ljharb]

Can you paste the command are you using to install it fresh?

[davidwieler]

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.31.4/install.sh | bash

[ljharb]

OK - and if you run which nvm, what shows up? (presumably while running nvm gives you the same error)

[davidwieler]

/usr/local/bin/nvm

[ljharb]

and if you run sudo npm uninstall -f nvm and then which nvm, is it still there?

If so, you may need to manually remove it.

[davidwieler]

I get an error:
uninstall not installed in /Users/david/.nvm/node_modules: "nvm"

Which directory should I run the uninstall from?

[ljharb]

oh oops, sorry. sudo npm uninstall -g nvm - it should work from any directory.

[ljharb]

although also i'd recommend rm -rf ~/.nvm so it's starting fresh with that as well (and rm -rf /usr/local/bin/nvm if the npm uninstall fails)

[davidwieler]

ah! ok, using -g worked.
Now when I run which nvm, nothing shows up

[davidwieler]

Ran curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.31.4/install.sh | bash again.

had to do the export commands manually, but it worked!

Thank you, and please close this thread

Great, glad to hear it!
