Question

OSX 10.7.3

When I try to run the Node Version Manager shell file I get the following error.

nvm.sh:73: parse error near `in^M'

there is nothing wrong with the file. no hidden characters etc.

I’m using oh-my-zsh as well but that should make any differnce. I have the same setup on my macbook and it works fine.

Many thanks.

Answer 1

Are you sure your nvm.sh isn’t in DOS format?

See whether cat -v nvm.sh shows ^M characters at the end of lines?

EDIT:

To get rid of the ^M characters you can use dos2unix or tr

dos2unix nvm.sh

tr -d '\r' < nvm.sh > nvm.sh.new
