Hi @mike-day,
Good idea, that could help with the 'realpath not found' error. I'll add that.

Also, did the homebrew installation work? On another machine, it seems to have crashed the script.

The script did not crash for me, but I did already have homebrew installed. I also added .zshrc in my root directory prior to make sure the nvm stuff worked as expected.

Interestingly enough, I did just try running this script on another machine and found that a few things did not install successfully (namely, neither nvm or node 14 seemed to install).

Oh, good idea to add a .zshrc, I didn't know new machines don't always come with them.

Do you remember the error messages from the failed nvm or node installations, by chance?

They actually seemed to fail silently, or I might have just missed the error!

For the sake of experimentation, I tried adding the .zshrc file before running this script again on my second machine — nvm and node 14 both installed as expected. Maybe the script could create .zshrc with a single line source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh (or something to that effect) if the file doesn't exist?

Also, I did just need to run nvm use 14 separately to actually use v14.19.3.

Ah, great idea. Just added your idea of creating a .zshrc file with that single line.
