What happened?
Probably easiest to just show the output:

nvm: install v18.14.0 failed!As I note below, I am using https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/gnu-tar instead of the mac built-in version. If I un-comment the line for adding gnu-tar to my path nvm works as expected.
So I'm not blocked by this anymore since I only install new node versions... rarely. Wanted to bring it up since I didn't notice this in other issues.
output of tar --version (truncated license stuff): tar (GNU tar) 1.34
What did you expect to happen?
Install works with no errors
Is there anything in any of your profile files that modifies the PATH?
.zshrc does, notably export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/gnu-tar/libexec/gnubin:$PATH" to add gnu-tar to the path instead of the default tar.
