Installing latest NVM on a Ubuntu 14.04 EC2 AMI using:
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.7.0/install.sh | sh
Produces the message:
N/A version is not yet installed
whenever ~/.nvm/nvm,sh is invoked
It will, however, install and use Node.js versions.
Haven't seen this message before - just appears to have started today?

If you try nvm alias default 0.10, what happens?
ljharb
on 18 Jun 2014
I get this output:
default -> 0.10 (-> N/A)
heymanhn
on 19 Jun 2014
do you have a node 0.10 version installed? ie, after nvm install 0.10, then nvm use default should work.
ljharb
on 19 Jun 2014
Yes, the command worked after I installed 0.10. Thanks!
heymanhn

nvm alias default 0.10 worked for me as well. Thanks!

nvm alias default 0.10.29 worked for me too! But shouldn't that be fixed?

It's fixed now as of v0.10.0

This is what I have run yesterday and I run into the same problem:
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/master/install.sh | sh
. ~/.profile
nvm install v0.10.29
Hmm, thanks for the report - can you provide your shell details? Also, to confirm, you're seeing the message "N/A version is not yet installed"? At what point?
(Also, please don't install from master, always install from a tagged release version - curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.10.0/install.sh | sh is the latest, and is in the README)
ljharb

N/A version is not yet installed The reason you see this info is because you have set a alias for a specific version of node, and you delete this version after, so the alias is now N/A, use nvm ls you'll get it!

Actually you can get stuck to this phase if you try to set to default a nonexistent version.

ah - nvm isn't compatible with the fish shell. It only supports sh, dash, ksh, zsh, and bash.

Oh yeah, thanks. Seems to work on bash side. Forgot it was working with https://github.com/passcod/nvm-fish-wrapper
jkarttunen
on 5 Jan 2016
For those having this issue with fish, drop down to sh by executing sh, then do this with a version of node you have installed (nvm ls):
sh-3.2$ nvm alias default 0.10
default -> 0.10 (-> v0.10.40)
sh-3.2$ nvm use 0.10
Now using node v0.10.40 (npm v1.4.28)
sh-3.2$ nvm alias default 0.10
default -> 0.10 (-> v0.10.40)

On Mac Terminal, I used nvm alias default system and then nvm use system to get rid of this error.

Hi I tried on Mac Terminal but it returns the same error. Any idea what could be the reason? nvm is V6.5.0

@zhoukai07 can you please comment with the error that Mac Terminal is giving you? Then I will look more into it.

@alexmiddeleer can you file a new issue with this info? That should work fine, as long as $HOME isn't a symlink, and there's no device mounting going on, and nvm wasn't installed by homebrew.
ljharb
on 21 Oct 2016
I have used nvm to install node version 6.9.5. But when I run the command nvm -ls , why is it showing this lts/argon -> v4.7.3 (->N/A)?
ankit-prgmr
on 2 Feb 2017
@ankit-prgmr because the "argon" LTS is 4.7.3, and you don't have that installed. You only have "boron" installed.
ljharb
on 2 Feb 2017
@ljharb Thanks for responding. So it is only showing the LTS version for argon available, right? Doesn't mean that I have some parts of it in my system? (I mean the leftover files after uninstall)
ankit-prgmr
on 2 Feb 2017
You don't have anything in your system; every time nvm makes a network call it looks up what the LTS versions are and stores that as aliases. You can nvm unalias lts/argon if you want, but every network call nvm makes will restore it.
I do see that you're not using the latest nvm - a bug was fixed that makes lts/* point to argon instead of boron by mistake. Rerun the install script in the readme and that will be fixed.
ljharb
on 2 Feb 2017
@ljharb Cool. Thanks for clearing it to me :+1: :)

Similar problem. I am new to react native so I have no idea what is going on. I tried downloading everything per the instructions provided by the website but I keep getting this error.
N/A: version "N/A -> N/A" is not yet installed.
You need to run "nvm install N/A" to install it before using it.

@twu You mistyped nvm install node as nvm install nod before. Try nvm alias default node.
ljharb
on 26 Apr 2017
@ljharb I tried nvm alias default node and got this Tong:~ tongwu$ nvm alias default node
default -> node (-> v7.9.0) which I assume is good. Then I tried to install npm install -g react-native-cli but it didn't work so I tried curl -0 -L https://npmjs.org/install.sh | sudo sh. which resulted in series of downloads and the words It worked. However, when I tried to create a new project react-native init NewProject it gave me this

You have to nvm use first also, or restart your terminal.

I got this when I tried nvm use after restarting the terminal
No .nvmrc file found
Node Version Manager
Note: <version> refers to any version-like string nvm understands. This includes:
- full or partial version numbers, starting with an optional "v" (0.10, v0.1.2, v1)
- default (built-in) aliases: node, stable, unstable, iojs, system
- custom aliases you define with `nvm alias foo`
hmm, after nvm alias default node, nvm use should use the latest installed node version.

which is why I am very confused. Thanks for trying though.

@twu781 if you do nvm use default what happens?

when I try to make a new project it says npm WARN [email protected] requires a peer of [email protected] but none was installed. at one point.
Now it allows me to initialize a new project but I get this when I try to generate the simulator
Command `run-ios` unrecognized. Make sure that you have run `npm install` and that you are inside a react-native project. even though I had already ran
Tong:~ tongwu$ cd AwesomeProject
Tong:AwesomeProject tongwu$ react-native run-ios
Both of those warnings are part of the project you're using, or npm - not from nvm. Once npm and node work, nvm is not involved.

nvm alias default system work for me on macOS Sierra with Homebrew
jebog

I installed the latest version of node using nvm
nvm install node 8
Once done run
nvm current
then list all versions of nvm by running
nvm ls
This will give you a list of all installed version of node on ur machine. And one of them will be default for me it was version 6, but since I already had started using newer function I was constently getting errors. In the end I ran
nvm alias default node
And once done the default version was moved to 8.2.1
parifuture
on 26 Jul 2017
nvm alias default stable or nvm alias default stable etc. worked as expected.
The "default" link was broken.
A nvm ls shows this too.
nerdoc
on 7 May 2019
It worked for me, and I think you can default to any version you like. I used nvm alias default 10.

If you try
nvm alias default 0.10, what happens?
