More on this issue in [dotphiles/dotzsh](https://github.com/dotphiles/dotzsh#mac-os-x).
**nvm is not compatible with the npm config "prefix" option**
Some solutions for this issue can be found [here](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm/issues/1245)
There is one more edge case causing this issue, and that's a **mismatch between the `$HOME` path and the user's home directory's actual name**.
You have to make sure that the user directory name in `$HOME` and the user directory name you'd see from running `ls /Users/` **are capitalized the same way** ([See this issue](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm/issues/2261)).
To change the user directory and/or account name follow the instructions [here](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201548)
