Problem choosing node version in Terminal - MacOS Ventura

Question

Whenever I start a new session in iTerm or the Terminal in MacOS Ventura, I get the system label on the right.

A problem I'm facing is that whenever I want to change the node version, it cannot be done. It's always tied to the system version.

This is when I run nvm list . For default it's the right value: 16.18.1 . But when I run nvm use default , and run nvm list again, I still see system as the selected version.

Does anyone know why is still using the system one, instead of the default ?

Answer 1

I have no idea about the terminal prompt that appears on the right side.

I had the same issue, and I just added the below lines to the.zshrc file:

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm" [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] &&. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm [ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] &&. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" # This loads nvm bash_completion

To use the latest version or the version that I installed on my machine, I tried the following:

nvm use <node_version>

I hope this helps!
