How did you install nvm?

Git Install

What steps did you perform?

What happened?

When I open a terminal and set it up with the command node use --lts and then type node -v, I get the output, but when I open a new terminal and execute node -v it says zsh: command not found: node.

What did you expect to happen?

I should be able to output the version information when I enter the new terminal, because the node version was set before that

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

Here's some of the information I've configured myself

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

node use --lts isn't a thing; do you mean nvm use --lts?

If so, use is only ever for the life of the shell session. You want nvm alias default lts/*, for example, if you want the latest LTS version to be the default.
