@hutliver Sorry to hear it. In that case, it's not a package issue. I'd suggest seeking help from upstream. Read their readme to make sure you haven't missed something. Otherwise, they're pretty responsive to Github issues.

@tomwadley same error :/

@hutliver I'm not sure what's happening here. Can you try removing this package and installing nvm the "official" upstream way with their install.sh curl|bash?

@ferrantejake The post-install instructions explain that you have to source nvm into your shell before you can use it. This is unlike typical applications which install an executable into /usr/bin which you can just call out-of-the-box. This is the way nvm is designed and its a difficult problem to work around without making sacrifices that I don't think are appropriate to force on all users of the package. For example, I believe it would be possible for this package to install something in /etc to auto source nvm for all users, but that seems quite invasive to me. With some modifications to the way nvm works though, some sort of "system nvm" which doesn't require sourcing does seem possible, and it would be interesting to explore that one day, probably as a separate package.

For now, this package includes a handy script "/usr/share/nvm/init-nvm.sh" which you can source in your .bashrc to get nvm working.

Seems to not be working out-of-the-box. I ran the following (from the nvm git repo) to get the package working in the command line:

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm" [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm

Would it be possible to get this added to the PKGBUILD script?

Now that package nodejs-fake does not exist anymore, what is the suggested way to go about this?

EDIT: the wiki has been updated.

@tomwadley You are right. Thanks! In the readme at Github, sourcing nvm is mentioned after the second "command -v nvm". I stopped after the first.

@Twiki you need to "source" nvm into your environment before you can run it. Look at the post-install instructions here that you may have missed https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/nvm.install?h=nvm

Just installed, next to main Arch repo's already installed v10.8.0.

Result: nvm not found. command verify produces no output. nvm does exist.

[twiki@21stcentury 4.4.23 ~]# nvm run node --version

bash: nvm: command not found

[twiki@21stcentury 4.4.23 ~]# command -v nvm

[twiki@21stcentury 4.4.23 ~]# whereis nvm

nvm: /usr/share/nvm

[twiki@21stcentury 4.4.23 ~]#

-._. What went wrong?
