Accepted 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!
