nvm keeps "forgetting" node in new terminal session
homebrew, macos, node.js, npm, nvm
Solution
Try `nvm alias default`. For example:
`$ nvm alias default 0.12.7`
This sets the default node version in your shell. Then verify that the change persists by closing the shell window, opening a new one, then: `node --version`
Problem
Upon using a new terminal session in OS X, `nvm` forgets the node version and defaults to nothing: `$ nvm ls`: ``` .nvm v0.11.12 v0.11.13 ``` I have to keep hitting `nvm use v.0.11.13` in every session: ``` .nvm v0.11.12 -> v0.11.13 ``` I've tried both the `brew` install, as well as the official installation script. My `.profile` for the brew version: ``` #nvm export NVM_DIR=~/.nvm source $(brew --prefix nvm)/nvm.sh ``` And for the install.sh script: `$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.10.0/install.sh | bash` ``` #nvm export NVM_DIR="/Users/farhad/.nvm" [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm ``` Any clue to what I'm doing wrong?
