Brew install nvm. nvm: command not found

From the docs:

Your system may not have a [.bash_profile file] where the command is set up. Simply create one with touch ~/.bash_profile and run the install script again

you might need to restart your terminal instance. Try opening a new tab/window in your terminal and retry.

Restarting worked for me...Why can't all bugs be so easy?!!

I followed @user3207874's answer, but it still wasn't working for me. I had to run this command after those steps:

source $(brew --prefix nvm)/nvm.sh

There are two steps to installing nvm with brew.

First use brew to install the application:

brew install nvm

Then take a look at the brew info "caveats" section, to see what else you have to do:

brew info nvm

You might see something like (this can change!):

You should create NVM's working directory if it doesn't exist:

  mkdir ~/.nvm

Add the following to ~/.bash_profile or your desired shell
configuration file:

  export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
  . "/usr/local/opt/nvm/nvm.sh"

If you do not have a ~/.bash_profile file, then you can simply create one.

Make sure to restart your terminal before trying to run the nvm command again.
