Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 25,073 PointsI can't seem to get node installed on my mac
I have used homebrew to install node on my Mac. I get a warning node 8.9.1 is already installed, its just not linked. You can use brew link node to link this version. I try brew link node and get an error. It tells me I can force it by entering brew link --overwrite node. I try it. I then try node node -v (I also try --v) and I get bash: node command not found. What is going on here.

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 25,073 PointsI figured it out gang. I had to remove a file before the --overwrite would work on the brew link.

$ node -v
Not "node node -v" Also worth trying with 2 dashes if my suggestion doesn't work.
