## Installing and Updating ## Installing and Updating
### Install & Update Script ### Install NVM on macOS
Change the ownership of these directories to your user
To **install** or **update** nvm, you should run the [install script][2]. To do that, you may either download and run the script manually, or use the following cURL or Wget command:
```sh ```sh
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/share/zsh /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions
``` ```
Make sure that user has write permission
```sh ```sh
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash chmod u+w /usr/local/share/zsh /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions
```
Use Humebrew to install NVM
```sh
brew install nvm
```
Create a director for NVM in home
```sh
mkdir ~/.nvm
```
Configure Required Environment Variable
```sh
vim ~/.bash_profile
```
Add the following lines to ~/.bash_profile
```sh
export NVM_DIR=~/.nvm
source $(brew --prefix nvm)/nvm.sh
```
Press ESC +:wq to save and close the file.
Load the variable to the current shell environment
```sh
source ~/.bash_profile
``` ```
Running either of the above commands downloads a script and runs it. The script clones the nvm repository to `~/.nvm`, and attempts to add the source lines from the snippet below to the correct profile file (`~/.bash_profile`, `~/.zshrc`, `~/.profile`, or `~/.bashrc`).

[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm
