How do I nvm install from a noninteractive shell?

[Kreijstal]

I'm trying to use nvm from another language, so when it calls bash, it doesn't execute .bashrc, and sessions are as long as only 1 command, so it doesn't save any enviromental variables, how hard is to execute nvm install in this situation?

That it's an interactive shell only determines which profile files are sourced - you can choose to source nvm.sh in any shell, either manually or via the correct profile file.

If your sessions are only as long as one command, you'd probably do something like . /path/to/nvm.sh && nvm install node - but since nvm sets the $PATH so that you can use node, all your node/npm commands would have to run inside that same shell session.

Guess it doesn't work for me

the command is . not bash
