title: NVM Install Error: Profile not found. Tried ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile, ~/.zshrc, and ~/.profile.
body: <p>I JUST wiped and reformatted my entire Macbook Retina drive to start from scratch,
  installed homebrew,
  installed xcode and accepted terms and conditions,
  went to install nvm with <code>curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.11/install.sh | bash</code> and got the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>=&gt; nvm is already installed in /Users/dillon/.nvm, trying to update using git
  =&gt; =&gt; Compressing and cleaning up git repository
  
  =&gt; Profile not found. Tried ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile, ~/.zshrc, and ~/.profile.
  =&gt; Create one of them and run this script again
     OR
  =&gt; Append the following lines to the correct file yourself:
  
  export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
  [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] &amp;&amp; \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"  # This loads nvm
  
  =&gt; Close and reopen your terminal to start using nvm or run the following to use it now:
  
  export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
  [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] &amp;&amp; \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"  # This loads nvm
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><code>echo $PATH</code> returns <code>/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin</code> if that's any help.</p>
  
  <p>I tried opening an <a href="https://github.com/creationix/nvm/issues/1837" rel="noreferrer">issue on github</a> but haven't received a response</p>
  
  <p>Any idea what I can do to get nvm and node properly running?</p>
