Thank you very much indeed. I was struggling installing Node. As the course was online pre-recorded, I couldn't really ask the teacher. You saved my life.

[@GouravKumar-o6b]

After spending days, I successfully installed it on my MacBook M3 without any nvm/npm errors while installing the NPM CLI package as per the environment’s documentation. I just follow micro step by step this tutorial. Thanks man.

Hands down one of the best tutorials on UA-cam. I am learning to code which is challenging but I am ambitious, and found this very easy to understand. I have cried, throw fits and went into my little scorpio hole just trying to understand the basics. But this video gives me hope. thanks so much

Thank you so much! I came here just looking for a way to install the latest version of node.js because the node website changed it's format and I couldn't download the latest version of node.js lts on my mac. Thanks to your clear explanation, I was able to finally update node.js. Not only that, I got the bonus of having the ability to switch between two versions. Once again, many thanks!

showing you maybe you are on mac ,install xcode developer tools to procced further after using the curl code in the terminal after creating zshrc

[@tiberiutudorancea]

The error message you received suggests that you need to install the Xcode Command Line Developer Tools on your Mac. In the Terminal window, type the following command and press Enter: xcode-select --install
After completing these steps, you should be able to install nvm without encountering the error message about needing to install the Xcode Command Line Developer Tools.

if 'code helloj.js' not working: In vs code Command Palette -Comm-Shift-P, use the 'Uninstall 'code' command in the PATH command' then add back with "Install 'code' command in PATH" command.

[@LeoLeo-sh4vm]

I encountered a permission denial error while installing, so I used this to grant myself full permission.
If the problem persists, grant full permissions temporarily to troubleshoot: chmod 777 ~/.zshrc
Test the installation again. Afterward, reset the permissions to a secure state: chmod 644 ~/.zshrc
