I'm getting this message on my mac after installing the current version (0.23.3) of nvm:

$ nvm install 0.12.0
######################################################################## 100,0%
-bash: sha1sum: command not found
Checksums do not match.
Binary download failed, trying source.

other node versions produce the same error.

found an old issue (#181) for this but it was closed years ago ... anyone with the same problem?

ok, found the problem - I'm using a .aliases file from someone else and in there was a line saying:

# OS X has no `sha1sum`, so use `shasum` as a fallback
command -v sha1sum > /dev/null || alias sha1sum="shasum"

commenting this out fixed the problem for me.

Thanks - aliasing builtins is something we try to bypass, but is generally not recommended.

Revert ".aliases: Alias sha1sum if needed"
c713f72 
The sha1sum alias was preventing nvm from installing node. Hat tip to
nvm-sh/nvm#659 for making this a quick and easy fix.

This reverts commit af441ca (mathiasbynens#141).
