Troubleshooting

Installation

A good first step is to search the web for the exact error output you see from the command.

These are common errors and how to resolve them.

It's very likely either:

• The post install instructions for nvm were missed, use brew info nvm and follow the instructions for updating your shell environment (e.g. .zshrc, .bashrc)

You should create NVM's working directory if it doesn't exist:
mkdir ~/.nvm

Add the following to your shell profile e.g. ~/.profile or ~/.zshrc:
export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "/opt/homebrew/opt/nvm/nvm.sh" ] && \. "/opt/homebrew/opt/nvm/nvm.sh"  # This loads nvm
[ -s "/opt/homebrew/opt/nvm/etc/bash_completion.d/nvm" ] && \. "/opt/homebrew/opt/nvm/etc/bash_completion.d/nvm"  # This loads nvm bash_completion

• The shell you are currently using has not loaded the updated profile, eihter - close the terminal shell and open a new one - source the updated profile (e.g. source ~/.zshrc)

Bazel eats a lot of memory, if you see Java memory errors, you don't have enough swap space.

8GB should be enough for an Android build of the hello world app.
