nvm Mirror and Authentication

Configure nvm to download Node.js binaries from custom mirrors in restricted network environments.

Workflow

  1. Set the mirror URL via environment variable:

    # Use a custom mirror (e.g., Taobao mirror for China)
export NVM_NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR=https://npmmirror.com/mirrors/node

# Then install as normal
nvm install 20

  2. Configure authentication headers if the mirror requires auth:

    # Set auth header for private mirror access
export NVM_AUTH_HEADER="Authorization: Bearer <token>"
nvm install 20

  3. Validate mirror connectivity:

    # Test the mirror URL
curl -I "$NVM_NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR/v20.11.0/"

# Verify node downloads successfully
nvm install 20 && node -v

Note: Installation steps are in nvm-install. This skill handles only mirror and auth configuration.
