How did you install nvm?
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.7/install.sh | bas
What steps did you perform?
nvm install 16.20.2
v16.20.2 is already installed.
Now using node v16.20.2 (npm v10.2.4)
nvm use 16.20.2
Now using node v16.20.2 (npm v10.2.4)
node --version
v21.6.1
nvm alias default 16.20.2
default -> 16.20.2 (-> v16.20.2)
What happened?
No change in node version
What did you expect to happen?
Node version change to 16.20.2
Is there anything in any of your profile files that modifies the PATH?
If you are having installation issues, or getting "N/A", what does curl -I --compressed -v https://nodejs.org/dist/ print out?
Can you fill out the rest of the issue template?
Specifically, the PATH question. I suspect homebrew is initialized after nvm, which means homebrew’s node will always preempt nvm’s.
I'm not sure how to answer the path question, is there a file I can attach with the information required ?
Don't just attach your shell profile files, but look in ~/.zshrc or ~/.zprofile, and confirm that the nvm-related lines occur after any homebrew-related lines.
Additionally, you can try removing the brew-installed node.
I have placed...
export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" # This loads nvm bash_completion
At the end of ~./zshrc, exit shell & then restart, and it's still the same.
I would not have installed node using brew.
(Sorry, but I must be missing something)
Your nvm debug output includes which node: /opt/homebrew/bin/node
That was it. I must have used brew install node, even though my preference is to use nvm.
Thanks for you help.
Closing...
Glad you figured it out!
