Add nvm to zsh path

I'm only able to access nvm using bash, I'm trying to add it to my zshrc but unable to find it's install location.

I tried,

$ which nvm

but that does nothing.

The README for nvm here has some important hints for you. When installing manually, the doc suggests that you can add the following to your .zshrc file:

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" # This loads nvm bash_completion

I suspect you are missing the first line. What does echo $NVM_DIR show you?

But even better, if you are using a plugin manager, such as Oh My Zsh (and you should be), you can simply install the zsh-nvm plugin by adding "nvm" to your list of plugins.
