title: NVM on WSL2: cannot install Node, version not found
body: <p>I installed WSL from the Microsoft Store onto Windows 10. I was able to succesfully install NVM onto this using the curl command as documented on <a href="https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm</a></p>
  <p>NVM installs, I can run commands and check the version.</p>
  <p>However when I try to install node, either a specific version like <code>nvm install 12.18.1</code> or <code>nvm install</code> or <code>nvm install --lts</code> I get a message that the version is not found</p>
  <pre><code>me:~$ nvm install 12.18.1
  Version '12.18.1' not found - try `nvm ls-remote` to browse available versions.
  </code></pre>
  <p>or</p>
  <pre><code>me:~$ nvm install --lts
  Installing latest LTS version.
  Version '' (with LTS filter) not found - try `nvm ls-remote --lts` to browse available versions.
  </code></pre>
  <p>If I try to run <code>nvm ls-remote</code>, after several seconds I get <code>N/A</code></p>
  <p>I have installed this before on MacOS and on a different non-work Windows 10 box and have not seen this behavior before.  It's like it is not hitting the nodejs server.</p>
  <p>Thoughts?</p>
