nvm is not an executable shell script, it's a bash function that you source.

. $HOME/.nvm/nvm.sh
nvm install v0.4.8
nvm use v0.4.8

do you have curl installed? What's your environment? bash? zsh? other?

I had the same problem on Ubuntu 10.04. I went to ~/.nvm/src/node-v0.X.Y and ran make install.
