I have to use source ~/.bash_profile for node command to work on my terminal. All the node commands work just fine after using source ~/.bash_profile. I used nvm to install Node LTS(v14.18.0).
My .bash_profile
export NVM_DIR=~/.nvm
source $(brew --prefix nvm)/nvm.sh
Is there any way to fix my node installation?
MacOS uses zsh as the default shell and not bash. You will need to create a ~/.zshrc file and then run the install script of nvm again.
You can probably skip the rerunning the install script by manually inserting in .zshrc file the following:
export NVM_DIR="$([ -z "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME-}" ] && printf %s "${HOME}/.nvm" || printf %s "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/nvm")"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm
"Since macOS 10.15, the default shell is zsh and nvm will look for .zshrc to update, none is installed by default. Create one with touch ~/.zshrc and run the install script again." - from nvm docs on github.
