Another day, another dfx issue…

I recently upgraded dfx v0.17.0 and was looking to dowgrade.

As a result, the command dfx is not found anymore.

❯ DFX_VERSION=0.15.2 sh -ci "$(curl -fsSL https://internetcomputer.org/install.sh)"

Welcome to dfxvm!

This will install dfxvm, and download and install dfx.

The dfxvm and dfx commands will be added to the following directory:

   /Users/daviddalbusco/Library/Application Support/org.dfinity.dfx/bin

This path will then be added to your PATH environment variable by
modifying the profile files located at:

   /Users/daviddalbusco/.profile
   /Users/daviddalbusco/.zshenv

The following binaries were found on your PATH and will be deleted:
   /usr/local/bin/dfx

Current installation options:

            dfx version: 0.15.2
     delete dfx on PATH: yes
   modify PATH variable: yes

Proceed with installation?: Proceed with installation (default)

dfxvm is installed now.

To get started you may need to restart your current shell.
This would reload your PATH environment variable to include
the dfxvm bin directory.

To configure your shell, run:
  source "$HOME/Library/Application Support/org.dfinity.dfx/env"

exit
❯ dfx start
zsh: command not found: dfx

Ah missed the prompt, it’s so obvious. My bad I guess.

Opening a new shell solved it.
