Cannot Install nvm on ubuntu

[Anuj Prakash]

Operating system and version:

Ubuntu 22.04.1

nvm debug output:

nvm ls output:

How did you install nvm?

What steps did you perform?

I just ran this line of code "curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.2/install.sh | bash"

What happened?

I got this error after the timer stopped and nothing was downloaded

What did you expect to happen?

I expected that it would install nvm

Is there anything in any of your profile files that modifies the PATH?

I'm not sure...

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

This looks like you're having difficulty connecting to github - if you can't download the install script then certainly nothing will install.

Can you try curl -I --compressed -v https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.2/install.sh as well?

[Anuj Prakash]

I tried this "curl -I --compressed -v https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.2/install.sh" today but still I'm getting these errors,
curl -I --compressed -v https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.2/install.sh

Seems like your internet connection has some issues. It could be your workplace/school, your ISP, or your government, but this isn't really something I can help you debug, unfortunately.

Same issue basically.

It's 22.04 as-well.

@Itz-Hyperz same comment to you - can you clone the nvm repo by itself?

[Swarnavo]

Hey there, I was too unable to clone and install nvm in my device. It seems like a government thing. The address is blocked all together. I used vpn and was able to install nvm properly. Let me know if it works for you too. 👍🏼

[Jordan Harband]

I agree that's likely what it is, so I'm going to close this. I believe India has recently blocked githubusercontent.com, so I'd suggest a vpn, or advocating to your government, if this affects you.

@ANUJSP25 curl just can't find the link, just download the install.sh file manually from this link
and just runbash install.sh on your linux terminal and Thank me later :)
