NVM installation issue. curl / wget gets timeout.

[samiksengupta]

I'm trying to install Node Version Manager
https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm

I'm trying to follow the install instructions.
The problem is, both the curl and wget commands either timeouts or nothing happens.

Code: Select all

 curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.5/install.sh | bash

Code: Select all

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.5/install.sh | bash

I don't understand why this is unreachable. The url seems to up elsewhere.

There is an Internet connection issue. Maybe Github is blocking connections from your region / country? Are you using a VPN? Sometimes VPN connections get blocked.

I wonder if it's an IPv6 issue. Try adding --ipv4 to the curl command to tell it to use IPv4 only.
Just a a wild guess, but easy to try. It's a network connectivity issue of some sort

It was an issue with my ISP. Had to use another Network to get the request to complete. But I like the options presented here. Hope these help somebody else in need.
