Certain operations like postCreateCommand run non-interactive, non-login shells. Unfortunately, nvm is really particular that it needs to be "sourced" before it is used, which can only happen automatically with interactive and/or login shells. Fortunately, this is easy to work around:
Just can source the nvm startup script before using it:
"postCreateCommand": ". ${NVM_DIR}/nvm.sh && nvm install --lts"Note that typically the default shell in these cases is sh not bash, so use . ${NVM_DIR}/nvm.sh instead of source ${NVM_DIR}/nvm.sh.
Alternatively, you can start up an interactive shell which will in turn source nvm:
"postCreateCommand": "bash -i -c 'nvm install --lts'"This Feature should work on recent versions of Debian/Ubuntu-based distributions with the apt package manager installed.
bash is required to execute the install.sh script.
