How did you install nvm?

Tired to add nvm to the plugin array on my /.zshrc file, save close and reboot term. put nvm install in term but it didn't recognize the nvm command

What steps did you perform?

installed via git clone then altered the script

What happened?

nvm was then cloned and when put cd /.nvm in term noted it was saved in master not HOME

What did you expect to happen?

Is there anything in any of your profile files that modifies the PATH?

changed:
export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" # This loads nvm bash_completion

to:
export NVM_DIR="$master/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" # This loads nvm bash_completion

I have no idea what $master is, but $HOME should be your user directory. The $ denotes a variable, not a hardcoded string.

Are you still unable to get nvm to work when you fix the export line?

[richernote]

It only worked once I changed it. I ended up uninstalling zsh and going through bash to download everything.

If it's working, can you fill out the nvm debug part of the issue template?
