Profile not found. Tried ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile, ~/.zshrc, and ~/.profile.

Error when installing NPM

 Profile not found. Tried ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile, ~/.zshrc, and ~/.profile.



Fix:
Run command and try again
touch ~/.bash_profile 


Reason

https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm/issues/1837

your system may not have a [.bash_profile file] where the command is set up. Simply create one with touch ~/.bash_profile and run the install script again

you might need to restart your terminal instance. Try opening a new tab/window in your terminal and retry."
