i cant use node in nvm except for system node

I have a problem with using my node in nvm

I can see my node when i enter nvm ls

        v9.11.2
       v14.16.1
        v16.0.0
     ->  system

Then, I enter nvm use 14, which prints out Now using node v14.16.1 (npm v6.14.12)

however, when i enter node -v

it prints out -bash: /home/pi/.nvm/versions/node/v14.16.1/bin/node: No such file or directory

then, when i enter nvm ls, i cant find an arrow that points my current node.(arrow just dissapear)

        v9.11.2
       v14.16.1
        v16.0.0
         system

this problem occurs except for system node

Also, i can find that node file if i manually go into that directory. How can i solve this problem?

I am currently using rpi4 with rasberry pi OS(aarch64).

+) i have to enter nvm use system every time i reboot my computer

Someone experiencing this found a workaround and posted it to a GitHub issue about this problem.

I don't have a real solution - but I think I found the cause. Run the following command on your raspberry pi 4:

uname -m

If this shows aarch64 or similar, then nvm also thinks that the raspberry pi is 64 bit, and tries to download the 64 bit version of node. Node's 32-bit build still works just fine, but for some reason the 64 bit build is failing in this very unusual way.

My only real answer is to download "Linux Binary - ARMv7" from here:

https://nodejs.org/en/download/current/

and place it in the system path. It's inelegant, but it should work, in thoery.
