After that you can run the following command to load NVM

  export NVM_DIR=»$([ -z «${XDG_CONFIG_HOME-}» ] && printf %s «${HOME}/.nvm» || printf %s «${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/nvm»)»
[ -s «$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh» ] && \. «$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh» # This loads nvm

Now NVM should be installed, you can double check with:

  nvm -v
  # this will return the version
