I tried,

    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.
