I was trying to install and switch between node version, so i first install nvm using below
Administrators-MacBook-Pro:~ user.name$ sudo npm install nvm -g
Password:
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/nvm
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/nvm
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/mkdirp
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/mkdirp
/usr/local/bin/nvm -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/nvm/bin/nvm
[email protected] /usr/local/lib/node_modules/nvm
└── [email protected]
After this i was trying to do "nvm ls" to list node version but it gave me an error(below). Please advice what's wrong with it
Administrators-MacBook-Pro:~ user.name$ nvm ls
module.js:340
throw err;
^

Answer
I recently ran into this problem after I installed nvm as an npm package (from https://npmjs.org/package/nvm).
To resolve the issue, install nvm directly using the instructions at https://github.com/creationix/nvm#installation
Once installed and
source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
ran (this is important, as it makes nvm available in your current terminal session), then you'll be able to run
nvm ls
and other nvm commands successfully from your project directory.
Hope this helps & cheers to learning node!
