  • How did you install nvm? (e.g. install script in readme, Homebrew):
    wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.8/install.sh | bash

nvm says 'no .nvmrc file found' when the problem is that the version inside of said .nvmrc is not installed.

I have a systemd service that calls nvm like this.

/home/kenny/.nvm/nvm-exec nodemon ./src/index.js

the output was:
Mar 31 21:06:00 vm5 start.sh[3021]: No NODE_VERSION provided; no .nvmrc file found

the contents of the .nvmrc file are:
v9.7.0

The error disappeared after running nvm install 9.7.0 --reinstall-packages-from=node

I got the thing to work but I want to inform you that the error message is wrong it should say that the version inside the .nvmrc is not installed, not that there is no .nvmrc file.
