Hey! I found it not work when I try to open a new terminal . Do you have any idea ?

Did you enter directly in your terminal @0xtaosu? It sounds like it isn't correctly added to your ~/.zshrc or in .bash_profile.

good job

thank you so much for this. it worked 😇

Thanks! Good job! 🎉

@brenoprata10 also for me
thanks

Quick heads up.

If you use ZSH, and use Oh-My-ZSH, you don't need to add to ~/.zshrc

Just follow instructions for lukechilds/zsh-nvm at the section as a ZSH plugin

# ~/.zshrc


# Which plugins would you like to load?
# Standard plugins can be found in $ZSH/plugins/
# Custom plugins may be added to $ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins/
# Example format: plugins=(rails git textmate ruby lighthouse)
# Add wisely, as too many plugins slow down shell startup.

plugins=(
  nvm
)

export ZSH="$HOME/.oh-my-zsh"
source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh

# ...

@renoirb just followed lukechilds/zsh-nvm at the section as a ZSH plugin instructions and worked like a charm! Thanks!

I use

• Mac os Big Sur (11.7.4)
• zsh instead of bash

When I restart terminal, it doesn't recognise the nvm command.
What should I do to solve this issue with .zshrc?
