Added an example for LTS updates that also reinstall the existing packages.
This is useful for individuals who run the latest LTS version along with global packages and need to update when the LTS version gets bumped
macOS only supports extracting xz tarballs with `tar` in 10.9 and up.
GNU tar needs an `xz` executable on the `PATH` to extract xz tarballs.
(These are the most common variants of tar, so until further testing
is done, conservatively assume all variants of tar (other than the one
shipped with macOS) need an xz executable on the PATH in order to
decompress xz tarballs.)
Fixes#2155.
Adds the following information to the "Migrating global packages while installing" section:
- notification that the npm package is explicitly not updated when using the --reinstall-packages-from flag
- information about the --latest-npm flag
- recovery instructions if a user has already updated node with an incompatible npm version
- Operating system and version: Mac OS X Mojave
- What happened? $NVM_DIR was set to nvm
- What did you expect to happen? $NVM_DIR should be set to .nvm
I added the following line from the README to my .zshrc:
```
export NVM_DIR="${XDG_CONFIG_HOME/:-$HOME/.}nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm
```
I couldn't figure out why nvm wasn't loading, until I realized that
`echo NVM_DIR="${XDG_CONFIG_HOME/:-$HOME/.}nvm"` outputs `NVM_DIR=nvm`.
Changing the line to `export NVM_DIR="${XDG_CONFIG_HOME/:-$HOME/}.nvm"` fixed the problem. This outputs `NVM_DIR=.nvm` as expected. I tested this and the same behavior holds true in Bash as well.
It was trying to read ./.nvmrc if you cd'ed into a subdirectory of the directory that has .nvmrc, which would give print `-bash: ./.nvmrc: No such file or directory` to stderr and potentially not doing the `nvm install`.
With the environment variable XDG_CONFIG_HOME set, the installation
script uses the directory $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvm now. Before the change
the variable's value with "/nvm" cut off was used, which usually results
in an installation without any subdirectory.
- fix test 'Running "nvm ls" should display all installed versions.': only expect versions created by this test, but no versions created by other tests
