Node.js not linked error

Question

I've literally searched everything on web. But I could not find the solution for the error node-0.8.8 already installed, it's just not linked. Is it related to a path file issue?

Answer 1

Execute this list of commands in this particular order:

sudo brew uninstall node brew update brew upgrade brew cleanup brew install node sudo chown -R $(whoami) $(brew --prefix) brew link --overwrite node brew postinstall node 

Answer 2

After you've run brew upgrade to update node to the latest version, run brew doctor to see what potential problems there are. It might tell you that node is unlinked, in which case, running brew link node will link it. (You might need to first run brew unlink node)
