• How did you install nvm? (e.g. install script in readme, Homebrew): Install script in readme with 0.33.11

• What steps did you perform?
  Installed nvm
  Added nvm to path as specified

• What happened?
  Nvm install is not working
  nvm install node is not working
  nvm install 8 is not working
  Nvm ls-remote returns n/a

• What did you expect to happen?
  NVM should install a node version (any node verison)

• Is there anything in any of your profile files (.bashrc, .bash_profile, .zshrc, etc) that modifies the PATH?
  export PATH=$GOPATH/bin:$PATH

It seems like you ignored the one part of the issue template that’s relevant to your problem :-)

If you are having installation issues, or getting "N/A", what does curl -I --compressed -v https://nodejs.org/dist/ print out?

[wasifhyder]

Ah! My bad.

that all seems normal. can you elaborate on what "not working" means? does nvm ls-remote node print out a version? what error do you get when you run nvm install node?

[wasifhyder]

I can't install any version of node. I get the error below. I have tried to run nvm ls-remote which returns N/A. I have tried re-installing nvm, using the NVM_NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR set to a different and double-checked my certificates.

Below you can see the result for nvm install node, nvm ls, nvm ls-remote

wasif$ nvm install node
Version 'node' not found - try `nvm ls-remote` to browse available versions.

wasif$ nvm ls

->       system
node -> stable (-> N/A) (default)
iojs -> N/A (default)
lts/* -> lts/dubnium (-> N/A)
lts/argon -> v4.9.1 (-> N/A)
lts/boron -> v6.17.1 (-> N/A)
lts/carbon -> v8.16.0 (-> N/A)
lts/dubnium -> v10.15.3 (-> N/A)

wasif$ nvm ls-remote
            N/A

I have exhausted all my options. I don't know what else to do :(

[ljharb]

hmm, actually it's weird that your curl command didn't end with * Connection #0 to host nodejs.org left intact. I assume if you visit https://nodejs.org/dist/ in your browser you see content?

[wasifhyder]

Yeah. The entire index of distributions

[ljharb]

Do you have a ~/.curlrc or any env vars that might affect curl's operation? Can you try in Terminal (ie, not just in iTerm)?

[wasifhyder]

Hey!

Thanks so much for this. I finally was able to look into this and troubleshoot it based on environment variables. The problem was caused by the ordering of the variables in my PATH value.

For some reason during the installation of go the PATH was set to

export PATH=$GOPATH/bin:$PATH

As opposed to

export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin

[nekrodomus]

1: nvm install node

2: nvm install iojs

3: nvm ls-remote

[lsalazar85Dev]

1: nvm install node

2: nvm install iojs

3: nvm ls-remote

Amazing dude, thank you
