`nvm install` fails with "Binary download failed, trying source" when
- running on Bash;
- errtrace (`set -E`) is enabled;
- an ERR trap uses `exit` to return a non-zero status; and
- /sbin/init doesn't exist.
Resolved by moving `ls -dl /sbin/init` to the following `if` statement.
In this context, returning non-zero isn't an error and the ERR trap
isn't executed.
Nesting the `elif` at the same level as the `if` and `fi` makes it clear which code applies to which branch (no .nvmrc file / found .nvmrc file).
I wasted a while looking at it trying to work out how it did anything if there was a .nvmrc file, because obviously the `if` didn't match and I couldn't see the `elif` branch.
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`.
