Warning: node -5.0.0 is already installed, it is simply not connected

Question

I am trying to install node js. I get the following error. Any idea?

brew install node Warning: node-5.0.0 already installed, it just not linked 

thanks

Answer 1

You should be able to run:

 brew link node 

What you are doing tells Brew to create a symbolic link for the node executable in the / usr / bin (or / usr / local / bin) directory, as far as I know.

Answer 2

For this problem, run

 brew link homebrew/versions/node<version no>
