I beg you, but not Linux wiz (unfortunately). In any case, I have a freshly installed version of Ubuntu Linux 14.04 LTS on which I recently installed NVM and Node.js. I did this by entering the following two commands into my terminal, following these instructions .
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.7.0/install.sh | sh
nvm install 0.10
Amazingly, I have NVM and Node installed! Running type commands nvm lsprovides me with a list of installed versions, etc. So? ok, the problem is that after restarting my computer / logout. I get:
ricardo:~$ nvm ls
sbin
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/usr/sbin/alias’: Permission denied
I get similar messages with other commands, for example:
ricardo:~$ nvm use 0.10
N/A version is not installed yet
ricardo:~$ nvm deactivate
Could not find /usr/sbin/*/bin in $PATH
Could not find /usr/sbin/*/share/man in $MANPATH
Could not find /usr/sbin/*/lib/node_modules in $NODE_PATH
