Problem
A days ago updated node and npm using nvm, everything works until shutdown my machine.
Next morning, always get:
~ nvm
bash: nvm: order not found
~ npm
bash: npm: order not found
~ node --help
bash: node: order not found
But everything just works after "sourcing" ".profile", where I save all my variables and modifications to "$PATH":
~ source .profile
~ nvm
Node Version Manager (v0.39.2)
Note: <version> refers to any version-like string nvm understands. This includes:
- full or partial version numbers, starting with an optional "v" (0.10, v0.1.2, v1)
- default (built-in) aliases: node, stable, unstable, iojs, system
- custom aliases you define with `nvm alias foo`
Any options that produce colorized output should respect the `--no-colors` option.
Usage:

--no-colors Suppress colored output
nvm --version Print out the installed version of nvm

Note:
to remove, delete, or uninstall nvm - just remove the `$NVM_DIR` folder (usually `~/.nvm`)
I don't understand why, because the nvm folder alredy exist:
~ find $HOME -name .nvm
/home/{my_username}/.nvm
And even the variable "$NVM_DIR" is alredy set, and is identified from the start:
~ echo $NVM_DIR
/home/{my_username}/.nvm
What I Tried
Tried moving the variable declaration in my ".profile" file, cause read that modifing the $PATH after exporting nvm variables can cause some problems. This according to this stackoverflow answer in other post.
Tried modifiying the variable of nvm in .profile, because in the main page appear other:
- Before:
export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm" [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm [ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" # This load>- After:
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
Important
- $NVM_DIR is set before sourcing, so .profile is read at system starting
- nvm: vr. 0.39.2
- Ubuntu: vr. 22.04.1 LTS
