When I type: echo $path in the terminal on Mac, I get this:

/Users/myname/.nvm/versions/node/v5.7.0/bin

I needed to upgrade node.js to version 6, so when I upgraded it for some reason now I have two versions installed v5.7.0 and v6.11.0. How can I modify the path so it points to the version v6.11.0, i.e. the path becomes:

/Users/myname/.nvm/versions/node/v6.11.0/bin

I modified .bash_profile the as follows:

#!/bin/bash
export PATH=$HOME/.nvm/versions/node/v6.11.0/bin:$PATH
source ~/.bashrc

But my path does not change.
