Brew install nvm. nvm: command not found

by

There are two steps to installing nvm with brew.

First use brew to install the application:

brew install nvm

Then take a look at the brew info “caveats” section, to see what else you have to do:

brew info nvm

You might see something like (this can change!):

You should create NVM's working directory if it doesn't exist:

  mkdir ~/.nvm

Add the following to ~/.bash_profile or your desired shell
configuration file:

  export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
  . "/usr/local/opt/nvm/nvm.sh"

If you do not have a ~/.bash_profile file, then you can simply create one.

Make sure to restart your terminal before trying to run the nvm command again.
