Node install error

Question

Im trying to install node + npm using brew and keep getting the following:

$brew install node Warning: node-0.10.33_1 already installed, it's just not linked

Any ideas whats going on and how to fix?

Answer 1

Try brew doctor that should give you some idea of what the problem is. Also, I strongly recommend not installing node directly using brew, but actually installing nvm through (brew install nvm)

nvm is the node version manager, which allows you to install different versions of node, and quickly swap between them.
