nvm install boron command does not work in every environment #235

Closed MicFin closed 7 years ago

nvm install --lts=boron errors in some environments.

Version '--lts=boron' not found - try `nvm ls-remote` to browse available versions.

The solution we used was to install the version number specifically nvm install 6.9.4. We did not spend adequate time investigating what environment settings may have caused this error.

nvm install lts/boron

gaand commented 7 years ago

@payne-chris-r is that the solution?

MicFin commented 7 years ago

nvm install lts/boron did not work for the scenario we ran into with @jordanallain's set up.
We tried nvm install lts/boron and nvm install --lts=boron which both errored and had to run nvm install 6.9.4 for it to work.

Most people that one of these didn't work for are getting nvm: command not found. Those people didn't follow directions and skipped the last step. They should be 🔨d

nvm install --lts=boron worked for every developer during 017 installfest

...unless Monday proves otherwise :)

scottyscripts commented 7 years ago

if --lts=boron option doesn't work, it will install based on version number with the new scripts.

@sdavidson140 Those version numbers are a little out of date. Latest boron has advanced.
