Node Version Not in Log when it is Downloaded

[dizmond]

What is happening?

When I type node -v in the console, my node version is v16.17.0 and when I type nvm -v it is version 1.1.9. However, it doesn't display in the final Log file or the command prompt when I run the install_check.sh script.

I was having a lot of issues earlier with installing nvm the way described in the ReadMe because I already had nvm installed somewhere. I followed directions to uninstall it. Then, the curl command worked after that. But the nvm commands weren't recognized in the command prompt. So I installed it manually following these directions:

https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows/releases

After that, I used some nvm command to install the specific version 16.17.0 (nvm install 16.17.0) because --lts was an unrecognized command for my command prompt. Then (nvm use 16.17.0).

My main question is: It looks to be downloaded on my end. Do I have to worry about the Log not having the Node version listed? If so, how can I fix this?

The links that you have above are to nvm-windows, which is not a package that you should be installing. The NVM that we're looking to install will only install inside WSL, because it is for UNIX/Posix systems (MacOS, Linux). NVM-windows will only install on Windows, and it an entirely different package.

This is the NVM you should be installing: https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm

It also looks like you are running in PowerShell directly on Windows and not using WSL, which is not going to work.

Using WSL solved all of my issues. I didn't realize that that is what we were using. Everything is installed correctly now and it shows in my Log.

Great!
