I had installed nodejs before without nvm and then deleted it completely by uninstalling and deleting all files.

I am using windows 10.

It works when I use run powershell as administrator, but I am unable to use yarn in vscode.

PS C:\Users\laveen> nvm ls No installations recognized. PS C:\Users\laveen> nvm install 14.18.1 Downloading node.js version 14.18.1 (64-bit)... Complete Creating C:\Users\laveen\AppData\Roaming\nvm\temp Downloading npm version 6.14.15... Complete Installing npm v6.14.15... Installation complete. If you want to use this version, type nvm use 14.18.1 PS C:\Users\laveen> nvm use 14.18.1 exit status 1: Access is denied.

First check node is properly install in your system

  1. Open CMD/Git CMD as administrator (Press Windows+R Type “cmd” and then press Ctrl+Shift+Enter)
  2. Check list of Node version ( nvm list )
  3. Use specific node version ( nvm use 17.7.1 )

My case with nvm-windows version 1.1.9: Switching node version requires elevated Powershell (run as administrator). It is recommended to use version 1.1.7 to avoid this issue.

Maybe you need use:

  1. nvm off
  2. nvm on
