You can use zsh-nvm or enable it yourself by adding following lines to your ~/.zshrc

 export NVM_DIR=~/.nvm
 [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"

Extra:

For faster shell initialization, I use lazynvm which only loads node when needed

lazynvm() {
  unset -f nvm node npm
  export NVM_DIR=~/.nvm
  [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"  # This loads nvm
}

nvm() {
  lazynvm 
  nvm $@
}
 
node() {
  lazynvm
  node $@
}
 
npm() {
  lazynvm
  npm $@
}

npx() {
  lazynvm
  npx $@
}

Reference: Lazy load nvm for faster shell start

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.

I think you missed this step:

source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh

You can run this command on the bash OR you can put it in the file /.bashrc or ~/.profile or ~/.zshrc to automatically load it

Check your .bash_profile, .zshrc, or .profile file. You most likely had a problem during the installation.

You should have the following at the end of one of those files.

[[ -s $HOME/.nvm/nvm.sh ]] && . $HOME/.nvm/nvm.sh  # This loads NVM

The . $HOME/.nvm/nvm.sh is the same as source $HOME/.nvm/nvm.sh

See: Sourcing a File

You can also check to see if you have a .nvm folder.

ls -a | grep .nvm

If you're missing that folder then the installation failed to run the git command. This could be due to being behind a proxy. Try running the following instead.

git clone http://github.com/creationix/nvm.git .nvm
