profile.d-nvm

A plugin for profile.d that integrates nvm - Node Version Manager, a tool for managing multiple Node.js versions.

Features

• Automatically installs and configures nvm
• Keeps nvm up-to-date with the latest version
• Loads nvm automatically in your shell
• Provides bash completion for nvm commands
• Maintains persistent NVM_DIR environment variable

Installation

1. Add the following line to your ~/.profiledrc:

PLUGINS=(
  # ... your other plugins ...
  https://github.com/jakubro/profile.d-nvm
)

2. Run the installation commands:

profile.d-install
. ~/.bashrc

Usage

Once installed, you can use nvm to manage your Node.js installations:

# List available Node.js versions
nvm ls-remote

# Install a specific version
nvm install 18.0.0

# Use a specific version
nvm use 18.0.0

# Set default Node.js version
nvm alias default 18.0.0

# Run a command with a specific version
nvm exec 18.0.0 node --version

How It Works

The plugin:

1. Installs nvm in ~/.nvm during the installation phase
2. Updates nvm to the latest version when running profile.d-install
3. Sets up the NVM_DIR environment variable
4. Loads nvm and its bash completion on shell initialization
