creationix nvm on windows 10 - it's possible now

[Bennit]

Using linux subsystem for windows 10 + ubuntu shell (installed through windows store) I was able to install nvm using the curl command , install a version of node and run node code.

Perhaps the doc can be updated with this information as I prefer this version of nvm over the alternatives mentioned in the readme, I suppose there will be more people that share this feeling.

One remark though -- while installing I encountered following error in the console, which seems to be perfectly ignore-able as it guess it only affects bash completion:

=> Appending nvm source string to /home/bcorne/.bashrc
=> Appending bash_completion source string to /home/bcorne/.bashrc
net.js:200
    this._handle.open(options.fd);
                 ^

=> Close and reopen your terminal to start using nvm or run the following to use it now:

Not 100% sure yet about how far the linux modules for node are compatible with the (limited) linux subsystem of win10 - so it's worth giving it a try and sharing your issues.

It's been possible for awhile :-) Since the linux subsystem claims to be POSIX compliant, and nvm requires POSIX, please do file issues if you see any problems.

In that specific case, I'd file an issue on WSL itself about that bash_completion file.

I solved this problem by remove the windows PATH in WSL.
The method is here microsoft/WSL#1493, and it works fine.
