Can't update node when use homebrew - node.js

When I use "brew upgrade node"
brew upgrade node Warning: You are using a pre-release version of
Xcode. You may encounter build failures or other breakages. Please
create pull-requests instead of filing issues. Error: node not
installed
But when I use "brew info node"
Please note by default only English locale support is provided. If you
need full locale support you should either rebuild with full icu:
brew reinstall node --with-full-icu or add full icu data at runtime
following:
https://github.com/nodejs/node/wiki/Intl#using-and-customizing-the-small-icu-build

You have a fully functional version of node.
Try it for yourself and see what you get. I would expect something like:
> which node
/usr/local/bin/node
> node -v
v6.7.0
The first error is the interesting bit. Looks like you are on xcode 8.0 before it was released and maybe it did cause issues with upgrading node. I presume with the public launch of xcode, this is no longer an issue.
The brew info node caveat is just letting you know that you have a working version of node, but with english only.

Unable to downgrade Node to specific version

I am building a sample application in which I need to use Node Version v9.11.2 and npm 4.0.0. Currently I have Node Version v16.4.0 installed on my system. I tried to install the specific version by uninstalling the latest version and installing version 9.11.2 from official website
Problem: The problem is I can uninstall the latest version without any problem but when I try to install older version(9.11.2) the command gets opened and it does nothing. I also tried to install the older version using cli commands ie. npm install -g node#9.11.2, it installs the version but on checking the version using node -v, it still shows the latest version(16.4.0)
Below are the screenshots for better understanding
Installed version 9.11.2 but showing 16.4.0
Any Solution please ?
Is using docker a possibility? If so you can simply get a docker image of the required version and use if from there.
Another way is to use NVM which is a really useful tool to manage nodejs versions. I'm including their github repo for your convenience:
https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm
A good option is to use NVM: https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows (Windows) or https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm (unix, macOS). With NVM you can enable different versions of node on the same machine and switch from one to another, usually it takes care of managing the installed packages and adding them to its own management system.

JHipster hangs for every command

I'm trying to start project with JHipster 6. Unfortunately every single command I give cause long (3-10 Minutes) lag.
E.g. when I type
jhipster --verbose
INFO! Using JHipster version installed globally
I have to wait until something will appear on the screen. Is there any possiblity to enable tracing?
OS: Win10 64bit
node: 12.16.2
npm: 6.14.4
This is due to the bug https://github.com/jhipster/generator-jhipster/issues/11617
Already fixed in https://github.com/jhipster/generator-jhipster/pull/11618 and will be available in a newer versions

NodeJS can't install it properly

I had problem with create-react-app and turned out I gotta update my version of nodeJS. The thing is that I can't do so. when I type node --version I get v11.10.0, however when I type sudo n stable, I get:installed : v10.16.3 (with npm 6.9.0).
However when checking version of node I all time get this 11.10.0. How can I get this last stable version 10.16.3?
EDIT: SOLVED
turned out nvm was installed on laptop and it controled node version
I would suggest you use nvm to manage your node versions. It allows you to download multiple versions and you can assign versions on a per project basis. It also allows you to choose which version you want as default
Install nvm it will allow you to install and use any version you want.

Node JS 6.9 and angular CLI version compatibility

I have a restriction of using node JS version 6.9.1. I am getting many problems, while using angular cli quick start steps.
after ng serve, browser page will be white, no error in console.
npm start works, but if i change some style/file browser do not not refresh.
if i make any style change, webpack compiled successfully message comes but webserver fails to load page.
When I follow the quick start steps with latest nodejs it works like a charm. Can any one help me in telling, what are the versions (npm, angular-cli), I should use to run it ?
Like
Each Angular/Cli version has limited its compatibility of node versions below a specified release. If you have to use a specific version of node then your best bet would be to find a previous version of the Angular/Cli that will play nicely.
Here you can find all the versions and from there, pick one a little further back in the list and then do a search in google for "Angular/cli version x.x.x node compatibility" to see if there are any known issues.
Once you pick a version that looks good, run
npm install -g #angular/cli#<your version number>.
Once the install is complete run ng help and you'll get feedback right away if the version is still incompatible and you can try a different version.
Just make sure you get rid of the installs you aren't using with npm uninstall -g #angular/cli#<your version number>
for see if angular-cli is compatibility whit your node version installed you can see https://www.npmjs.com/package/#angular/cli/v/6.0.8?activeTab=versions, for example, I have installed node 6.11.2 and I have to use: npm install -g #angular/cli#6.0.0

How do I know which version of node.js I am currently running?

I remember I have upgraded to node.js v8.0.0.
And when I type node --version I see version number is v8.0.0.
However when I use which node on my OS X I see the path is /usr/local/Cellar/node/7.7.1/bin/node. Why would that happen? Am I using v8.0.0?
How did you install node?
Seems like you have used brew to install node in the past, but then upgraded in some other way.
In any case, you should trust the node --version, since this is node itself reporting.
If still in doubt, I would remove and reinstall.
Sounds like you have installed one version with Homebrew and one by normal installer?
Depending on your setup you can either remove the 7x version from Homebrew, or update and link to the correct version in Homebrew.
