nvm is not setting the default node version at shell startup #143

Closed paulo-santana closed 3 years ago

paulo-santana commented 3 years ago

Hi, I'm having this issue with nvm where it doesn't bother getting the value at $nvm_default_version, and I have to set it up manually if I wish to work on a nodejs project.

I already tried to update it, uninstall and reinstall it, and the problem continues.

nvm_000

The nvm install command activates the specified Node version only in the current environment. To set the default version for new shells you need to set $nvm_default_version.

set --universal nvm_default_version v14.16.0

Now open a new shell. Your Node version should be 14.6. Can you confirm that?

Just to answer your question, I did have set the variable up. On the screenshot I sent, I echoed it and we can see the value is there.

But I'll close the issue now because, after a reboot, everything seems to be working fine. I truly don't know what might have gone wrong... Thank you anyway for your help!

For the record, just setting the variable doesn't install Node, it just tells nvm to use that version in new shells.

Also, you don't seem to have a system Node installed, which is why the first time you entered node there was an error.
