Can't $ nvm run

$ nvm run 0.11

It doesn't depend on node version. Tried $ nvm run 0.11, $ nvm run default, etc.
Same result. OS = last debian. Nvm was installed with linuxbrew (fresh install, everything updated)

$ nvm ls
    v0.10.35
->  v0.11.15
default -> unstable (-> v0.11.15)
stable -> 0.10 (-> v0.10.35) (default)
unstable -> 0.11 (-> v0.11.15) (default)

nvm run by itself is just supposed to open the node repl. Typically, you'd do nvm run 0.11 --version or some other command. Alternatively, you can run nvm exec 0.11 node --version.

However, homebrew is a completely unsupported way to install nvm. Please uninstall it, and use the install command on the readme: curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.23.0/install.sh | bash and then try again?

Please uninstall it, and use the install command on the readme: curl

Done. Same issue. Node on itself is runnable:

paqmind@Paqmind:~$ which node
/home/paqmind/.nvm/v0.11.15/bin/node
paqmind@Paqmind:~$ node
> _

Ah - this is because nvm run runs its node command in a subshell, to avoid altering the current shell.

This is either a bug, because nvm run should error out when you provide no arguments, or a broken feature, because "no args" should drop you into the repl.

In the meantime, you can do nvm exec 0.11 node to get a repl in whatever version you like.

Thank you! I confirm that nvm exec 0.11 node works.
