- Operating system and version: Mac OS X Mojave
- What happened? $NVM_DIR was set to nvm
- What did you expect to happen? $NVM_DIR should be set to .nvm
I added the following line from the README to my .zshrc:
```
export NVM_DIR="${XDG_CONFIG_HOME/:-$HOME/.}nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm
```
I couldn't figure out why nvm wasn't loading, until I realized that
`echo NVM_DIR="${XDG_CONFIG_HOME/:-$HOME/.}nvm"` outputs `NVM_DIR=nvm`.
Changing the line to `export NVM_DIR="${XDG_CONFIG_HOME/:-$HOME/}.nvm"` fixed the problem. This outputs `NVM_DIR=.nvm` as expected. I tested this and the same behavior holds true in Bash as well.
With the environment variable XDG_CONFIG_HOME set, the installation
script uses the directory $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvm now. Before the change
the variable's value with "/nvm" cut off was used, which usually results
in an installation without any subdirectory.
this is done by checking if the user supplies `PROFILE=/dev/null` when running `install.sh`, the `nvm_detect_profile` function will not output any strings, causing `nvm_do_install` to skip adding `SOURCE_STR`.
