terminal locked > sh-5.2$ from "wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.7/install.sh | bash" about nvm HOT 9 CLOSED

I can't speak to that youtube channel - but installing nvm is just running the install command from the readme; it can't and doesn't install a shell.

I'm going to close this, but good luck figuring it out! Happy to keep helping if you have further questions here.

I see you're trying to install with wget; what happens if you try to install with curl?

(also, i have no idea what "zorin" is, is it posix compliant?)

Hello! @ljharb

Zorin 17 is a Linux distro.

Actually, my interest is in uninstalling it because I'm having trouble using the terminal.

Before, I had the folders and paths, but now, it just shows "sh-5.2$" and no commands work.

I shared the link from where I got it, through wget and bash, but I don't know how to remove it and would appreciate help with that.

Best regards!

That doesn't make much sense; the install script just adds 2-3 lines to your shell profile.

To remove it, follow the instructions in the readme: https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm?tab=readme-ov-file#manual-uninstall

altho i'd suggest checking out your shell profile file instead, and trying to get it working :-)

Thank you! @ljharb

However, as you can see in the screenshot, the uninstallation manual commands are not working.

As I mentioned, I'm somewhat new to all of this, and maybe I'm doing something ridiculously simple wrong, but I saw in the "help" that only a few commands are accepted. See below image.

I appreciate the intention to help =]

ok, so first, make sure there's no $HOME/.nvm dir - delete that if present.

Then, check inside your shell profile file - $HOME/.bashrc, or $HOME/.bash_profile, or $HOME/.profile, perhaps - do you see any lines that mention nvm in them?

@ljharb there are none of them

Also, I found something interesting when I used the command "exit":

I'm a bit confused; you do need to know shell basics to be able to use shell programs like nvm, and node.

you can't just type a filename in a shell and hit enter unless it's executable, and files starting with . are often hidden in GUIs, so don't use a GUI.

My intention was to install the current version of Node.js to work with Next.js in the Vercel environment.

When I used Windows, I managed to do it, and everything worked fine.

When I tried on Linux, I couldn't, and then I found a YouTube channel explaining through the command that I put in the title.

Then it installed this damn shell that I can't delete haha

But thanks for the tips; I'll try to understand how to navigate without using the GUI to find these folders. Cheers!
