nvm.sh fails due to differences in tail implementation. I'm getting the usage: tail [+/-[n][lbc][f]] [file] error and it seems the answer here (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/314321/whats-the-solaris-equivalent-to-the-bsds-tail-n100) might be used to solve the issue

How would I convert usages like tail -n +2?

I believe tail +2 should work, cannot check it right now

Sadly it doesn't seem to work outside of Solaris :-/ https://travis-ci.org/ljharb/nvm/jobs/142899811#L597

K, I think for the -n +n cases I can just use sed instead.
