+### Custom `nvm` setup on EPFL's RCP Cluster
+
+This guide explains how to install and use `nvm` on EPFL's RCP cluster environment with the MLO lab's persistent storage. We assume that you are following the [lab's workflow](https://github.com/epfml/getting-started) and are using `zsh`.
+
+#### Goals
+
+- Install `nvm` in your persistent home directory
+- Make it work across pods
+- Ensure it is **not globally loaded** for other users
+- Automatically load it for your shell (`zsh`)
+
+---
+
+#### Step 1 — Set install location
+```
+export NVM_DIR="/mloscratch/homes/USERNAME/.nvm"
+```
+#### Step 2 — Install nvm
+```
+curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.7/install.sh | bash
+```
+#### Step 3 — Load nvm (test it)
+```
+source "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"
+nvm --version
+```
+#### Step 4 — Configure zsh (IMPORTANT)
+Open zsh config file:
+```
+vi /mloscratch/homes/USERNAME/.shell/.zshrc
+```
+Add this near the top or after plugins:
+```
+export NVM_DIR="/mloscratch/homes/USERNAME/.nvm"
+[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && source "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"
+```
+#### Step 5 — Reload shell
+```
+source /mloscratch/homes/USERNAME/.shell/.zshrc
+```
+#### Step 6 — Verify everything
+```
+which node
+nvm ls
+node -v
+```
