Now you should be able to use node as usual.
## WSL Troubleshooting
If you've encountered this error on WSL-2:
```sh
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.2/install.sh | bash
% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current

```
It may be due to your antivirus, VPN, or other reasons.
Where you can `ping 8.8.8.8` while you can't `ping google.com`
This could simply be solved by running this in your root directory:
```sh
sudo rm /etc/resolv.conf
sudo bash -c 'echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf'
sudo bash -c 'echo "[network]" > /etc/wsl.conf'
sudo bash -c 'echo "generateResolvConf = false" >> /etc/wsl.conf'
sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf
```
This deletes your `resolve.conf` file thats automatically generated when u run WSL, creates a new file and puts `nameserver 8.8.8.8`, then creates a `wsl.conf` file and adds `[network]` and `generateResolveConf = false` to prevent auto generation of that file.
You can check the contents of the file by running:
```sh
cat /etc/resolv.conf
```
## Maintainers
Currently, the sole maintainer is [@ljharb](https://github.com/ljharb) - more maintainers are quite welcome, and we hope to add folks to the team over time. [Governance](./GOVERNANCE.md) will be re-evaluated as the project evolves.
