NPM not found when using NVM

I have installed node/npm using the nvm documentation.

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.29.0/install.sh | bash

Then:

nvm install node

At this point node is working but the npm command result with:

npm: command not found

How can I have npm to work correctly ?

Solution

  • I found out that this was a conflict with a previous versions of npm that have not been removed properly despite a apt-get remove node.

    I solved it by reinstalling npm from scratch:

    rm -R ~/.npm ~/.nvm
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.34.0/install.sh | bash
nvm install node
