nvm: Failed install
It’s a bit of a long read (most of it is terminal input/output though), so please stick with me.
Summary
I ran curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.29.0/install.sh | bash
multiple times and still keep getting command not found
Long version
I tried installing nvm by opening the terminal and running
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.29.0/install.sh | bash
but it complained with:
Agreeing to the Xcode/iOS license requires admin privileges, please re-run as root via sudo.
I tried to exit and reopen terminal and got:
-bash: nvm: command not found
Seemed expected, so I went and manually agreed to XCode terms.
Than I reopened the terminal and tried running the following command again
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.29.0/install.sh | bash
this time it complained with the following:
=> Profile not found. Tried (as defined in $PROFILE), ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile, ~/.zshrc, and ~/.profile.
=> Create one of them and run this script again
=> Create it (touch ) and run this script again
OR
=> Append the following lines to the correct file yourself:
export NVM_DIR=“/Users/Surfeatsleep/.nvm”
[ -s “$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh” ] && . “$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh” # This loads nvm
Realising I didn’t have a .bash_profile, I created within /Users/Surfeatsleep/ and pasted
export NVM_DIR=“/Users/Surfeatsleep/.nvm”
[ -s “$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh” ] && . “$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh” # This loads nvm
reopened the terminal again and got
-bash: nvm: command not found
So, again I typed
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.29.0/install.sh | bash
It said some stuff already exists and I should close and reopen terminal, so I did. I tried running nvm again, but again I got
-bash: nvm: command not found
I checked to see if nvm is installed
cd .nvm
ls
CONTRIBUTING.md Makefile bash_completion nvm-exec package.json
LICENSE.md README.markdown install.sh nvm.sh test
Am I missing something? Why isn’t nvm running? Did I mess up by running
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.29.0/install.sh | bash
multiple times?
Since I am not all that proficient with the terminal I would appreciate all the help I can get
P.S.: I am running OS X ver. - 10.11.1
