Description

As of 2025, installing nvm via Homebrew is deprecated.

Homebrew installation is not supported. If you have issues with homebrew-installed nvm, please brew uninstall it, and install it using the instructions below, before filing an issue.

https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm/blob/44a3cdb9b8738ae02237972ec58728a568f9d552/README.md?plain=1#L310

Therefore, We need to edit it for installation using a different method.
such as curl.

Compare it with the linked nvm README installation guidance, update the method to the supported approach, and verify that the resulting instructions no longer recommend Homebrew.
