Installing nvm via cURL hangs

Question

When I use

$ curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.34.0/install.sh | bash

to install Node Version Manager via OSX (version 10.13.6) terminal, I get this far and then the terminal hangs:

Why might that be?

Answer 1

Try to use --verbose to report more info to the command line.

So the command will be:

$ curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.34.0/install.sh | bash --verbose

If you have the same issue try to run this command: nvm -v ; maybe you already installed it.

Answer 2

It turns out that the issue was a result of an update to my anti-virus software. When I disabled this software, the installation went through.
