Volta: Couldn't find ~/.profile during install

[elwayman02]

When running volta-install, the installation failed to find my user profile, even though I have an existing one at ~/.profile.

Error: No user profile found.

Tried $PROFILE (), ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile, ~/.zshrc, ~/.profile, and ~/.config/fish/config.fish.

You can either create one of these and try again or add this to the appropriate file:

export VOLTA_HOME="$HOME/.volta"
[ -s "$VOLTA_HOME/load.sh" ] && . "$VOLTA_HOME/load.sh"

export PATH="$VOLTA_HOME/bin:$PATH"

Thanks for the report! Can you also share:

• your shell
• your OS and version

We'll see if we can get a consistent reproduction!

• iTerm2 - Build 3.2.9
• OSX - 10.14.5

@chriskrycho just to confirm, this bug still exists today in v0.6.3 of volta.

I believe this should be fixed by the improved profile detection logic. Feel free to re-open if that's not the case.
