How did you install nvm?

What steps did you perform?

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.7/install.sh | bash
nvm install 20

What happened?

In cygwin, the curl command is optional and if it's not installed, cygwin falls back to the windows curl command. The script installs even when using the windows curl. The problem happens later when nvm install <x> is used:

$ nvm install 20

What did you expect to happen?

I expected node v20.15.1 to download and install successfully.

My feature request: I would like the script to fail with a helpful error when using the Windows curl command. Without one, it's difficult to troubleshoot this error due to a couple of red herrings:

  1. curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.7/install.sh | bash succeeds, suggesting that curl isn't the issue.
  2. An arbitrary newline in the curl Warning message (i.e., Warning: /home/MYUSER/.nvm/.cache/bin/node-v20.15.1-win-x64/node-v20.15.1-win-) suggests this could be a CRLF/LF line ending issue.

Is there anything in any of your profile files that modifies the PATH?

.bash_profile:

  PATH="${HOME}/bin:/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/Mozilla\ Firefox:${PATH}:/home/MYUSER/.local/bin"
