Attempting to install nvm on aws ubuntu instance

I am using this command.

nvm - curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.1/install.sh | bash

This is the error I get: No command 'nvm' found, did you mean: Command 'pvm' from package 'pvm' (universe) etc.

My .bashrc looks like this at the bottom:

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"  # This loads nvm
source ~/nvm/nvm.sh

And my .profile looks like this:

# set PATH so it includes user's private bin directories
[[ -s $HOME/.nvm/nvm.sh ]] && . $HOME/.nvm/nvm.sh
source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh

node -v

v6.10.2

What is the problem here? All help is appreciated. I can provide more information if needed.
