Following John Papa's post on 'How to use npm global without sudo on OSX' and I am running
brew install node --without-npm
I get this info/error(s):

Following Homebrew's troubleshooting instructions, I ran brew update twice and brew doctor -- but still no luck. I'm not familiar with homebrew and haven't messed with this stuff in a while. Any ideas what these errors mean?

We can install modules required for a particular project in node. js without npm, the recommended node package manager using yarn.
The error in NPM, 'error package install failed, see above', can occur when the user creates a new project in Angular using Node. js using VS code. This means that NPM is corrupted in your system, and must reinstall NPM.
NPM is included with Node. js installation. After you install Node. js, verify NPM installation by writing the following command in terminal or command prompt.
in the case of mac os with homebrew.. two steps to do is to (1) which node (2) which npm which should be both in /usr/local/bin (where homebrew installs/symlinks node+npm)... to resolve.. try (1) brew doctor (2) brew reinstall node if its still giving issues.. check your path (echo $PATH).
It seems you did not install command line developer tools. Before installing Node with Homebrew, try executing this command in your Terminal:
xcode-select --install
If it is installed successfully this message will be shown:
xcode-select: error: command line tools are already installed, use "Software Update" to install updates
After the installation, run the brew command again.
The ctype.h file should be somewhere like /usr/include/ctype.h.
