How did you install nvm? (e.g. install script in readme, homebrew): curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.0/install.sh | bash
What steps did you perform? nvm install --lts
What happened?

Installing latest LTS version.

Detected that you have 4 CPU core(s)

Running with 3 threads to speed up the build

Binary download from https://nodejs.org/dist/node-<!--[if.tar.gz failed, trying source.

nvm: install <!--[if failed!

What did you expect to happen? How to install?
Is there anything in any of your profile files (.bashrc, .bash_profile, .zshrc, etc) that modifies the PATH? I think that does not matter

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

@ljharb

am getting this from my Makefile:

bash -l -c 'nvm exec v8.9.3 yarn add --save deck.gl luma.gl'
Environment:
nvm is not compatible with the npm config "prefix" option: currently set to "/usr/local"
Run `npm config delete prefix` or `nvm use --delete-prefix v6.11.2 --silent` to unset it.

bash_profile:

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm
echoLog "Nvm (node)" $NVM_DIR

I tried doing the npm config delete prefix and nvm use --delete-prefix v6.11.2 --silent, but neither changes the result.

hope this helps

Update i fixed it

updated to latest nvm
removed the start script from .bashrc and left it in .bash_profile

all good now
