Where is node while using nvm?

I am on a MacOS, and I switched from Homebrew Node to NVM, and removed Node from Homebrew but then a lot of my previous packages cannot find Node anymore (Sublime, Heroku etc)...so I have to manually update the location of Node to these packages.

Where is Node while using NVM?

Trying all the answers in 2023, nothing works:

nvm which node

nvm: Unknown command or option: "which" (see nvm -h for usage)

env|grep NVM

nvm root

nvm: Unknown command or option: "root" (see nvm -h for usage)

And finally!

env|grep nvm

nvm_current_version=v19.6.0 PATH=~/.local/share/nvm/v19.6.0/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

So I guess currently NVM keeps node in ~/.local/share/nvm

NVM should set PATH variable to your node installation directory, it does this automatically after:

nvm current use `nvm current`

You can check variables like this:

env | grep NVM

Here is my output:

NVM_DIR=/Users/name/.nvm
NVM_CD_FLAGS=-q
NVM_NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR=https://nodejs.org/dist
NVM_IOJS_ORG_MIRROR=https://iojs.org/dist
NVM_PATH=/Users/name/.nvm/versions/node/v5.9.0/lib/node
NVM_BIN=/Users/name/.nvm/versions/node/v5.9.0/bin

You can locate your node by running which node or command -v node

You can get the path to the executable to where node was installed with

nvm which node

Or any of the other NVM special aliases for node versions such as

nvm which default
