    At first I tried setting it up the way I was familiar with, with the Mac OS directions on this guide from The Odin Project. Then I realized nvm wasn't actually compatible with fish shell. So I bounced around, trying the various methods, nvm.fish and fish-nvm, and probably writing all sorts of things to files now cluttering both my node and fish installations in the process. I've still got both of those installed at the moment.

    Sweet thank you! I ended up removing everything, installing node via brew, using jorgebucaran/nvm.fish to install lts, and then since it still forgot whatever I set nvm use to in between sessions, I followed your instructions to add that path and now it remembers my version. Thanks!

    The good news is I think I'm able to get the right version by installing nvm through jorgebucaran/nvm.fish and adding its install location to my path. Bummer that I can't seem to get npm with the proper version of node through homebrew though.

    If you’re using fish, check out nvm.fish (https://github.com/jorgebucaran/nvm.fish). Works like a charm :)
