Got an error message while installing

[PeterDaveHello]

The good news is nvm still works good.

@PeterDaveHello do you have NVM_DIR set to something that's not $HOME? What do $NVM_DIR and $HOME contain?

[danielkoo]

Hi all,

I came across the same issue as well, and it looks as if NVM_DIR has not been set when the script tries to source $NVM_DIR/nvm.sh

In the meantime the workaround is just to source nvm.sh directly (or alternatively, ~/.bashrc)

[ljharb]

It seems like perhaps it should be sourcing $INSTALL_DIR/nvm.sh instead?

[danielkoo]

Yes, that would work too @ljharb, given this shows
export NVM_DIR="$INSTALL_DIR"
the 2 share the same value, even if they might be semantically different.
I'm happy to submit a PR if that's the decision?

[ljharb]

Since you can repro it, you can verify that that indeed fixes the issue, so then yes, a PR would be great :-)

[PeterDaveHello]

@PeterDaveHello do you have NVM_DIR set to something that's not $HOME? What do $NVM_DIR and $HOME contain?

@ljharb nope, I didn't set anything manully, it's from a clean Ubuntu 14.04 environment.

[PeterDaveHello]

I'm now working on the PR.

[danielkoo]

I just tested it, and can verify it's working fine now. Thanks guys.
