Move nvm gz files to linux

Open yallyyally opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

nvm must be installed on linux. Due to security concerns, it is not possible to install nvm using the command. How can I install nvm in this case? Should I run the setup file in the window OS and move the generated file to Linux by ftp?

Operating system and version:

nvm debug output:


nvm ls output:


How did you install nvm?

What steps did you perform?

What happened?

What did you expect to happen?

Is there anything in any of your profile files that modifies the PATH?

If you are having installation issues, or getting "N/A", what does curl -I --compressed -v https://nodejs.org/dist/ print out?

Can you elaborate on what security concerns?

Hi. The firewall prevents communication with the download server. It's a company server, so the security is sensitive.

You can manually run the install script steps, I suppose - but if you can't connect to github, i'm not sure how you'd clone the repo, and once installed, nvm must be freely able to contact nodejs.org, or it can't install node anyways.
