How do brew install a specific version of Node?
For example, I want to install 7.9 or 7.10, but I want to avoid Node 8 due to a bug webpack node-sass
.
When I run brew search node
, this is what I see:
❯ brew search nodeleafnode llnode Node ✔ node -build> node @ 0.10 node @ 0.12 node @ 4 node @ 6 nodebrew nodeenv nodenv caskroom / barrel / node -profiler
If you meant "node": It was moved from barrel / barrel to homebrew / core. You can access it again by running: brew tap homebrew / core
Checked Node (my current version v7.4.0
, then node@0.10
, node@0.12
, node@4
and node@6
?
The reason I can't fully upgrade to 8 is node-sass won't work in webpack.
Just installed NVM and got this crazy error log:

=> You currently have modules installed globally with `npm`. These will no
=> longer be linked to the active version of Node when you install a new node
=> with `nvm`; and they may (depending on how you construct your `$PATH`)
=> override the binaries of modules installed with `nvm`:
If I am reading this right, does it mean that I cannot use npm
to more fully install packages and use nvm
?
Update
I have added export lines to my .zshrc bash (I am not using bash_profile)
❯ nvm --version
0.33.2

If the versions are not homebrew/code
defined correctly, you should also be able to brew install node@0.12
.
You can also install multiple versions and choose which one you want to use using the command brew switch
.

Anyway, I would recommend using nvm , which can be installed via Homebrew. Although the version brew
is not wrong, and they do not plan to fix it.
