                Instructions on how to fix npm if you've installed Node through Homebrew on Mac OS X or Linuxbrew
              
          

        

      

        

  

      

    
OBSOLETE


This entire guide is based on an old version of Homebrew/Node and no longer applies. It was only ever intended to fix a specific error message which has since been fixed. I've kept it here for historical purposes, but it should no longer be used. Homebrew maintainers have fixed things and the options mentioned don't exist and won't work.


I still believe it is better to manually install npm separately since having a generic package manager maintain another package manager is a bad idea, but the instructions below don't explain how to do that.


Fixing npm On Mac OS X for Homebrew Users


Installing node through Homebrew can cause problems with npm for globally installed packages. To fix it quickly, use the solution below. An explanation is also included at the end of this document.
