why is nvm (for windows) not working and whenever it runs it gives an error message?

nvm (for windows https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows)

I have downloaded the nvm-setup and installed it, but whenever it runs it gives an error message.

I've tried to reinstall the nvm, reset the PATH environment variable and install version 1.1.6, and non of it seems to be working.

NVM_HOME points to my nvm file correctly and it's in the PATH.

C:\Users>nvm --version

Running version 1.1.7.

C:\Users>nvm list

12.3.1

C:\Users>nvm use 12.3.1

exit status 1: 'D:\Program' ���O�����Υ~���R�O�B�i���檺�{���Χ妸�ɡC
Solution

  • This happend when you install nvm in a directory that have spaces in the name, for example: C:\Program Files

    Change the install directory for nvm and it solved.
