@willwh

thank you so much for the help @ljharb :)

that sorted me right out!

that should probably make it in the Readme.md want a PR?

;)

Jordan Harband

@ljharb

sure, you mean like a general section about terminal colors?

also that nvm alias x prints out what "x" is :-)

nvm --help should also probably say those things if it doesn't already

@willwh a PR would be great :-)

William Hetherington

@willwh

@ljharb groovy, am at work right now, with deadlines, I promise I will crank something out over the weekend though

Jordan Harband

@ljharb

sounds great

William Hetherington

@willwh

thanks so much, again! :)

I made myself a reminder ;) creationix/nvm#1693

hey how to use nvm for windows

Jordan Harband

@ljharb

@jimmyYSY nvm only works on windows if you're using the linux subsystem

jimmy · YIN

@jimmyYSY

@ljharb sorry I don't quite understand

Jordan Harband

@ljharb

@jimmyYSY windows 10 has a thing called "BashOnWindows", or "the linux subsystem", which gives you a unix-like command line interface. that's required to run nvm on windows; otherwise you'll need a different software projecct.

jimmy · YIN

@jimmyYSY

@ljharb ok thanks i will try again

@rgoliveira

Does nvim run OK on Windows' bash? I joined a company to work with C# after a long time away from Windows, so I'm not sure if it's worth the trouble trying to use nvim on it

Jordan Harband

@ljharb

it should work fine

Ricardo Oliveira

@rgoliveira

Ok, thanks. I tried out nvim-qt and it's kinda ok for me, but I prefer to use it on the terminal

Oh, crap, I thought I had joined neovim's gitter 😂

Jordan Harband

@ljharb

oh lol

you said nvim, not nvm. yeah no idea about neovim

cswl

@cswl

How do I update node.js install... there doesnt seem to be a update command

Jordan Harband

@ljharb

@cswl there's not. nvm is for managing multiple versions, so if you need a different one, you just install it

cswl

@cswl

Just installing the version like nvm install lts or node does fetch the latest one.. while it doesnt uninstal the older version... kinda tedious I guess I will write a script for it..

Jordan Harband

@ljharb

@mukhtorov this channel is for nvm, not react.

Sardor

@mukhtorov

ah, sorry

@thedubb

Hopefully someone can help me with an nvm issue I'm having. I'm currently using node version 10.5 but anytime I globally install an npm package, it installs to a 9.4.0 directory .../.nvm/versions/node/v9.4.0. I can't seem to figure out how to get nvm to install to the directory that I'm currently in. Is there a command I can run for this?

Jordan Harband

@ljharb

@thedubb what does nvm current print out, and npm root -g?

sameeroath

@sameeroath

Hi guys, can someone please check above image as to why it's happening :/

shouldn't require('<global package name>') just work for me? if yes, can someone please guide me thru steps to fix this.

Jordan Harband

@ljharb

@sameeroath no, global packages are never requireable

things you require are dependencies - thus they must be in your package.json and locally installed.

global packages are only for non-project-specific command line tools, which are very very rare. almost everything should only ever be locally installed.

sameeroath

@sameeroath

hmm so codename wont be available in node repl even if its globally installed?

:point_up: and this is fine?

sameeroath

@sameeroath

ok i tried this and it works:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27876557/node-js-configuring-node-path-with-nvm

i can require global package by setting that NODE_PATH env

i don't use global packages on projects/apps just using this setup for ad hoc scripts etc.

Jordan Harband

@ljharb

never do that tho

NODE_PATH is both terrible and deprecated

if you want to require it, make a folder with a package.json or use npx

sameeroath

@sameeroath

i see thanks @ljharb will remove it

Avaray

@Avaray

--reinstall-packages-from Does it just copy files from directory to directory OR it is creating list of global packages, downloading and installing them?

if it is downloading and installing them: does it install the same versions or Latest versions?

Jordan Harband

@ljharb

@Avaray the latter, same versions
