I have downloaded Node from Here for MacBook. Now when I double click on package, it is giving me error.
Anyone knows about this ?
Or can you give me other way to install node on MacBook ?
It used be fine. But then I haven’t tried to download directly from their site for a while.
Since I have a need to install multiple versions of node and switch between them, I used nodenv installed via Homebrew. Another popular tool people use is nvm.
You can follow simple instruction at https://brew.sh/ to install Homebrew and you can install node by brew install node. If you want to be able to switch between versions, you can install nodenv by following Homebrew install steps at https://github.com/nodenv/nodenv/blob/master/README.md. Then install node by nodenv install 12.16.1

I had installed & uninstalled node on Mac OS with multiple ways using homebrew, nvm etc
Now I don't remember which technique I had used last time to install.
Is there a way to find our how node was installed or which tool is used to install node ?
Is it possible to update node using command line/PowerShell in windows 10?
Surely, I can download the latest version from the official site and install, but, I'm hoping for a way to do it from cmd.
Right now, I've npm and yarn installed on my system if that helps.
Perhaps nvm-windows is what you are looking for.
After installing this program on your computer, you will be able to use nvm command (Node Version Manager) in windows command line and manipulate with node.js versions.
Commands that you probably need are:
nvm install latest: To install the latest stable version
nvm list available: Show a list of versions available for download.
nvm use <version>: Switch to use the specified version.

Since you have npm you can use this command in powershell:
npm install npm#latest -g
If you want documentation to refer to you can use:

Have installed node 0.12.2, but need to revert to 0.10.33 to run the applications I need to.
I have tried installing 0.10.33 and switching versions using
set 0.10.33 to default with 'nvm alias default 0.10.33'
But node runs previous version (0.12.2) when started again.
I have tried uninstalling node via various methods, but each one has been blocked:
uninstall node
"You must be in root to run this tool"
(I am the only user (with Admin access) on my machine
I tried
cd /
then
uninstall node
But still got
"You must be in root to run this tool"
Tried
sudo uninstall node
"Uninstall Failed...
Reason: ErrorMissingBundle"
I may have installed node with Homebrew - it was a while back, can't quite remember. So tried:
brew uninstall node
"Error: No such keg: /usr/local/Cellar/node"
Other information I can give:
which node
/usr/local/bin/node
I see node and npm in
/usr/local/bin
Any help most appreciated - I'm not a command line expert, and fairly new at Node.
To switch from different node.js version with nvm just use nvm use 0.10.33
It looks like you might be using NVM (node version manager). If you are you can install different versions using
nvm install version_no
and then you can switch versions using the command
nvm use version_no
If you have not used NVM to install node you can uninstall node using the instructions in this answer - How do I completely uninstall Node.js, and reinstall from beginning (Mac OS X).
Then if you need different versions of node I would recommend using NVM, which allows you to install and use different versions of node on the same system. https://github.com/creationix/nvm
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?
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.
I have the same problem.
but I try lots method (e.g. nvm, uninstall, brew doctor, blabla...), and decide use http://nodejs.org/ pkg instead.
it would install perfectly without homebrew.
but if you are so likely use homebrew, I have no idea about this.
I had this problem as well. It was due to part of a leftover installation from running and using the pkg installer from nodejs.org. Simply:
brew uninstall node
rm -rf /usr/local/include/node
brew install node
And you're good to go. You could probably get away with skipping the uninstall and just performing a brew link node, but I didn't try that.
I've installed node.js in my machine (linux mint 15), when I run node example.js, it says:
The program 'node' can be found in the following packages:
* node
* nodejs-legacy
Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>
So what are the differences between node and nodejs? I had both node.js and node installed previously, but when I run node example.js, the web server doesn't start at all. So I deleted node and kept node.js.
The package node is not related to node.js.
nodejs is what you want, however it is arguably better to have the command be called node for compatibility with scripts that use #!/usr/bin/env node.
You can either just create a symlink in your path:
sudo ln -s `which nodejs` /usr/local/bin/node
Or you could install nvm and then use it to install the latest version of node.js:
nvm install stable
I prefer the nvm method, as it allows you to sudo apt-get remove nodejs, and then manage which version of node you're using yourself. You can also have multiple versions of node.js installed and use nvm use <version> to easily switch between them.
I also like to add a line to the bottom my .bashrc like: nvm use stable > /dev/null. That will automatically use the latest version you have installed.
To update your node version to the latest stable: nvm install stable. Every time you do this you will need to install any npm packages that you had installed globally if you want to continue using them.
To switch to an old version just run nvm use <version>, or, if you don't have the old version installed already: nvm install <version>.
This answer is just to tell you the difference between node and nodejs packages on Debian OS.

There is a simple answer.
