. ~/.nvm/nvm.sh --install doesn't install the required Node version

[mgol]

$ . ~/.nvm/.nvm.sh
$ nvm --version
0.23.3
$ cd APPLICATION_FOLDER
$ cat .nvmrc
0.12
$ . ~/.nvm/nvm.sh --install
v0.10.36 is already installed.
$ node --version
v0.10.36

I'd expect it to activate the requested version, not the one that was already installed...

What does nvm alias default print out?

[mgol]

$ nvm alias default
default -> 0.10 (-> v0.10.36)
$ nvm ls
->     v0.10.36
         system
default -> 0.10 (-> v0.10.36)
stable -> 0.10 (-> v0.10.36) (default)

So that's probably why. Is it expected when there's .nvmrc present?

[ljharb]

Yes - default takes precedence over nvmrc, which only occurs when sourcing. nvm unalias default, or nvm alias default stable should cause the --install behavior you'd expect.
