macOS only supports extracting xz tarballs with `tar` in 10.9 and up.
GNU tar needs an `xz` executable on the `PATH` to extract xz tarballs.
(These are the most common variants of tar, so until further testing
is done, conservatively assume all variants of tar (other than the one
shipped with macOS) need an xz executable on the PATH in order to
decompress xz tarballs.)
Fixes#2155.
Renames node_version_has_solaris_binary and nvm_iojs_version_has_solaris_binary
to be prefixed with nvm_ so they do not show up in tab completion following the
word "node".
Clean up readme structure a bit to help with readability. fix
instructions which could lead to a sourcing loop if misinterpreted.
guidance should direct macos users to simply copy the source snippet
manually into their desired profile file.
Resolve#2123
Adds the following information to the "Migrating global packages while installing" section:
- notification that the npm package is explicitly not updated when using the --reinstall-packages-from flag
- information about the --latest-npm flag
- recovery instructions if a user has already updated node with an incompatible npm version
- Operating system and version: Mac OS X Mojave
- What happened? $NVM_DIR was set to nvm
- What did you expect to happen? $NVM_DIR should be set to .nvm
I added the following line from the README to my .zshrc:
```
export NVM_DIR="${XDG_CONFIG_HOME/:-$HOME/.}nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm
```
I couldn't figure out why nvm wasn't loading, until I realized that
`echo NVM_DIR="${XDG_CONFIG_HOME/:-$HOME/.}nvm"` outputs `NVM_DIR=nvm`.
Changing the line to `export NVM_DIR="${XDG_CONFIG_HOME/:-$HOME/}.nvm"` fixed the problem. This outputs `NVM_DIR=.nvm` as expected. I tested this and the same behavior holds true in Bash as well.
It was trying to read ./.nvmrc if you cd'ed into a subdirectory of the directory that has .nvmrc, which would give print `-bash: ./.nvmrc: No such file or directory` to stderr and potentially not doing the `nvm install`.
