Example Playbook

- hosts: servers
  roles:
    - role: stephdewit.nvm
      nvm_version: 0.4.0
      nvm_node_version: 0.10

Install latest version always

- hosts: servers
  roles:
    - role: stephdewit.nvm
      nvm_version: 'latest'
      nvm_node_version: 'latest'

When run with another user than the logged one, it may help to set NVM_DIR environment variable to an absolute path:

- hosts: servers
  roles:
    - role: stephdewit.nvm
      become: yes
      become_user: vagrant
      environment:
        NVM_DIR: /home/vagrant/.nvm
