Cannot Install Node using NVM on my mac os mavericks

Question

When I run the command:

nvm install 0.10

I get this error:

tar: Error opening archive: Failed to open '-xzf'
Binary download failed, trying source.
######################################################################## 100.0%
tar: Error opening archive: Failed to open '-xzf'
nvm: install v0.10.26 failed!

What should I do to correct this?

Answer 1

Did you find your answer?

If not, you can try:

$ nvm install -s 0.10

The -s flag is used to compile from source and it worked for me.

I also wrote a blog post about that, if it can be helpful :)

Hope it helps! :)
