How to create a .zprofile on your macOS

A standard OS X installation will not build a .zprofile for you.This is a must-have, if you wish to run functions from the command line.

  1. Open the Terminal in your Mac.
  2. Type "cd ~/" to go to your home folder.
  3. Type "touch .zprofile" to create your new file.
  4. Type “open .zprofile” to open it in default text editor.
  5. Or if you wish you can edit .zprofile with your favourite editor ( type "open -e .zprofile" to open it in TextEdit).
      • -e                  Opens with TextEdit.
      • -t                   Opens with default text editor.
      • ~/                   Opens with default text editor.
  6. Type "source .zprofile" to reload .zprofile and update any functions you add.If this command will give you an error then try this one “source ~/ .zprofile”.

                   n  is a Node.js version management: no sub-shells, no profile setup, no convoluted, just simple. Supported  Platforms  n  is supported on macOS, Linux, including with Windows Subsystem for Linux, and various other  unix-like systems. It is written as a BASH script but does not require you to use BASH as your command shell.  n  does not work in native shells on Microsoft Windows (like PowerShell), or Git for Windows BASH, or with the Cygwin DLL. Installation If you already have Node.js installed, an easy way to install  n  is using   npm  : sudo npm install -g n The   n  command downloads and installs to  /usr/local    by default. Installing Node.js Versions Simply execute  n  <version>  to download and install a version of Node.js. If  <version>  has already been downloaded,  n  will install from its cache. sudo n 10.16.0 sudo n 10 sudo n install 10 sudo n lts sudo n latest Execute  n  on its own to view your downloaded versions, and installed the selected version. %
