Installing node with homebrew problems mac OS



after installing homebrew,



after running brew install node


brew install node



I test with:


node --version



I get:



command not found



If I rerun the install command:
I get:



MacBook-Pro:~ evanloiterman$ brew install node Warning: node 10.9.0 is
already installed, it's just not linked You can use brew link node
to link this version. MacBook-Pro:~ evanloiterman$ brew link node
Linking /usr/local/Cellar/node/10.9.0... Error: Could not symlink
include/node/common.gypi Target /usr/local/include/node/common.gypi
already exists. You may want to remove it: rm
'/usr/local/include/node/common.gypi'


brew link node



I try brew link node


brew link node



I get:



Error: Could not symlink include/node/common.gypi Target
/usr/local/include/node/common.gypi already exists. You may want to
remove it: rm '/usr/local/include/node/common.gypi'



To force the link and overwrite all conflicting files: brew link
--overwrite node



To list all files that would be deleted: brew link --overwrite
--dry-run node



What should I try next to ensure this is working?

You should install NVM (Node Version Manager). With this tool you can choose which node to use and install.
