'exit status 1 : not recognised as operable program or batch file' : nvm installation

[vaishaliarora277]

My collaborator Simranleen Singh is facing problem in installing nvm which is a pre-requisite for installing getpapers. He has followed the following steps so far :

OS: Windows 8.1

• Downloaded the latest version of nvm-setup.zip from https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows/releases

• Unzipped the downloaded file and run the included installer.

• On nvm install 7 command, it says successfully installed, but

• On nvm use 7.10.1, it says exit status 1: 'C:/Users/Dell' is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

He has checked the path of his nvm file and tried the same process of installation more than two times. What else can be done to solve this problem?

We got to solve this issue. The issue is caused due to the space in the directory name which is 'DELL USER'. Try avoiding the spaces in between two words particularly when you are running command lines because this breaks the path of your file in between.

So, when we changed the navigator to some directory which did not have spaces in between.e.g. DELL or any other of your choice. This above mentioned command worked well and we were able to install getpapers successfully on Windows.
