How did you install nvm?
Install script via curl
What steps did you perform?
Trying to install newer version of node
What happened?
Received the following error when trying to install a newer version of node. I received this error on both v16.19.1 and v18.14.2:
$ nvm install -b v18.14.2

N/A: version "v18.14.2" is not yet installed.
You need to run `nvm install v18.14.2` to install and use it.
I was able to fix this by removing GNU coreutils from my path, but wanted to bring this to your attention.
What did you expect to happen?
Expected install to work as before
Is there anything in any of your profile files that modifies the PATH?
Yes, see output of nvm debug above
If you are having installation issues, or getting "N/A", what does curl -I --compressed -v https://nodejs.org/dist/ print out?
$ curl -I --compressed -v https://nodejs.org/dist/

That's very confusing. Does GNU coreutils provide curl or wget? Is the nvm debug output below from when coreutils is present? (that's what i'd want to see)
The details are all from when I had coreutils in my path. It's the second item in my PATH variable in the nvm debug output. I noticed some other issues that mentioned coreutils, so I decided to remove it from my path on a whim -- and it worked! But, I've had coreutils installed for a long time and never had any problems in the past.
I see cut, basename, rm, and mkdir as being taken from coreutils, in particular.
Is there any chance these aren't POSIX-compliant? I don't know what gmv is but perhaps those 4 things call into it.
curl and wget are not in coreutils. curl comes with MacOS, but I installed wget using Homebrew, also. Below are the links created by coreutils. It looks like gmv is the GNU version of mv.

ahhh ok, so it's mv that's calling into that - and there's no way for nvm to bypass it since it's done with symlinks instead of aliasing. I'm not really sure what to do here other than add something to "troubleshooting" :-/
It's not a huge deal, more of an inconvenience. As I said, I just took coreutils out of my path and it worked. I re-enabled coreutils after the upgrade was done. I just wanted to document it here, so you would know about it and anyone else with the same problem could find it.
I suppose you could call /bin/mv directly, to bypass the symlinks, but that's up to you. Thanks!
Unfortunately there's no guarantee that mv is installed in that path - default installation paths vary widely by system.
It'd be ideal if you could file an issue on gnu coreutils, since there's clearly something about their mv implementation that isn't posix-compliant. Otherwise, I'll leave this open as a reminder to add a troubleshooting note about it. Thanks for reporting!
