install nvm on mac with zsh shell

install-nvm-zsh.txt

After install zsh 

- brew update
- brew install nvm
- mkdir ~/.nvm

after in your ~/.zshrc or in .bash_profile if your use bash shell: 

    export NVM_DIR=~/.nvm
    source $(brew --prefix nvm)/nvm.sh

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?

Thanks for your help

please recheck in your ~/.zshrc file this lines :

export NVM_DIR=~/.nvm
source $(brew --prefix nvm)/nvm.sh

thanks so much

/Users/shrsing3/.zshrc:59: command not found: brew
/Users/shrsing3/.zshrc:source:59: no such file or directory: /nvm.sh

I get the following error every time I open a new terminal session

/Users/shrsing3/.zshrc:59: command not found: brew
/Users/shrsing3/.zshrc:source:59: no such file or directory: /nvm.sh

I get the following error every time I open a new terminal session

please try next lines in your .zshrc file in terminal

open ~/.zshrc

in the .zshrc add the next lines

export NVM_DIR=~/.nvm
source $(brew --prefix nvm)/nvm.sh
