There is a laptop with two profiles, Admin and User, OS is Windows 11. How to install nvm CORRECTLY in user's profile? I tried several ways, however, I could not manage to solve the problem... Google and Chatgpt did not help. If I install nvm in Admin profile, everything is OK. Please help! Thank you in advance!

nvm only supports windows on git-bash, cygwin, and WSL2, all of which should work properly with the install script.

Question is about permison of permitions (UAC), not about installation CLI.

I'm not sure what you mean. What shell are you trying to install nvm on where permissions come up at all?

cmd, git and powershell. The problem is about UAC. When I type "nvm use node..." in CLI, the permission windows appears and asks enter administrator's password. Although, I gave permission by R-Click on Program Files -> Properties -> Security Tab.

nvm doesn't work in cmd.exe or powershell. Are you perhaps using nvm-windows, which is an entirely different project?
