npm install -g when using nvm

I'm using nvm to be able to switch node versions but when I try and install a global package with npm install -g it keeps installing to /Users/<username>/.nvm/versions/node/v8.9.4/bin/ even though doing node -v shows version 9.10.0

Basically when I change node version using nvm use ... I want my global packages to go to the correct node version.

Thanks for any help

The issue can most probably be with the NodeJS installation via nvm or the nvm.

The best solution can be to completely uninstall the nvm ( which'll eventually remove NodeJS alongside npm and if not, manually remove it using synaptic package manager or terminal) and reinstall it again.

To remove nvm:

sudo apt-get remove nvm && sudo apt-get purge nvm

To reinstall nvm again,
