Very annoying issue; every time I want to use node or NPM, I get this error and need to run a command to solve it.

nvm is not compatible with the npm config "prefix" option: currently set to "/Users/fabian/.nvm/versions/node/v0.12.7"
Run `nvm use --delete-prefix v0.12.7` to unset it.

Thanks for the report! What does nvm deactivate ; nvm debug ; echo $PREFIX ; echo $NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX print out?

Thanks! so, clearly you don't have an npm prefix set.

Are you by chance using oh-my-zsh? That tends to set tons of opts that nvm has to manually account for.

Author

Yeah, I am.. I could manually set it, I assume? How do I go about that?

Member

If you try to set the "prefix" that will break nvm.

As a temporary workaround, you can do nvm use --delete-prefix v0.12.7, but this is a bug specifically with omz. I'll have to figure out which option to unset when doing the comparison.

Okay, let me know if I can help with anything!

Member

Could you provide the output of setopt as well? From there I should be able to try to debug it.
