Use node from homebrew

Running node -v in the terminal returns 0.12.2, while running brew info node to check homebrew's version of node, it returns 6.7.0

How can I work using homebrew's node? (6.7.0 instead of 0.12.2)

I've tried reinstalling everything, but it didn't work.

Solution

  • Two options...

    Either specify the full path to where hombrew installed node each and every time you use it:

    /usr/local/bin/node -v

    Or, change your PATH in your login profile to put /usr/local/bin ahead of everything else:

    export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
