Install and Update nvm

Install or upgrade nvm from the official source using script, git, or manual methods.

Workflow

  1. Identify platform and shell (macOS, Linux, WSL, Alpine; bash/zsh/fish).

  2. Install via curl or wget:

    # Using curl
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.1/install.sh | bash

# Using wget
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.1/install.sh | bash

  3. Verify the profile was updated (the script writes to ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, or ~/.profile):

    # Required lines in your profile:
export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion"

  4. Verify installation:

    # Restart terminal, then:
nvm --version

  5. Override PROFILE if the auto-detection picked the wrong file:

    PROFILE=/path/to/custom/profile curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.1/install.sh | bash

Notes:

  • The install script writes to the detected profile unless PROFILE is explicitly set.
  • For restricted networks, use the nvm-mirror-and-auth skill instead.
  • Usage, .nvmrc, or troubleshooting belong to other nvm-* skills.
