How did you install nvm?
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.7/install.sh | bash
What steps did you perform?
nvm install 14
What happened?
What did you expect to happen?
I wanted Node version 14.21.3
Is there anything in any of your profile files that modifies the PATH?
export NVM_DIR=“$([ -z “${XDG_CONFIG_HOME-}” ] && printf %s “${HOME}/.nvm” || printf %s “${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/nvm”)” [ -s “$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh” ] && . “$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh” # This loads nvm
If you are having installation issues, or getting “N/A”, what does curl -I --compressed -v https://nodejs.org/dist/ print out?

If you have installed nvm using homebrew, then remove it
also
then install nvm 0.39.1 using the script and then install nvm install 14, it works. I had the same issue and managed to fix that using this version.
You should provide the checksum in the index.tab file 😃 then there won’t be a warning.
Worked flawlessly with v0.39.1 - I’ve had this same issue with a few other versions too, I guess I’ll keep using 0.39.1 for a good while in the future while I still need node v14
It’s not really an option; the python version required to build node is determined by node, and that’s the only way to get it to work.
@ljharb Don’t get me wrong, I also found your response hostile at first, but the idea here is to understand and help.
The problem here on my machine is the same as reported by @Vishnu94833, the same version and the same operating system. This only happens in NodeJS version 14, with command
nvm install 14.I took a look at another issue, which indicates downgrading the version to 0.39.1, as 0.39.7 has this error.
Temporary solution found here: https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm/issues/3148#issuecomment-1881408472
@lucastorress if you pay attention, you’ll notice that those were edited in after i asked, and then the OP didn’t comment to notify me that it was there.
We have a code of conduct and that kind of hostile response won’t be tolerated.
@ljharb if you pay attention, @Vishnu94833 already shared the
npm debuglogs at the opening of the issue. Do you need more information?@raylancordeiro please provide everything the issue template asks for
Where’s the
nvm debugoutput? The issue template is there for a reason, please fill it out in its entirety.
