12,009 PointsSo took me a while to sort this all out but if you're using a Mac I suspect you'll have similar issues. One big problem is that ZSH is now standard on Mac over BASH, and it seems Node, NPM, and Homebrew will all give you issues if using ZSH.
You can switch the terminal to using BASH with this command: chsh -s /bin/bash
You'll have to enter your password and restart Terminal but it should work.
If you've already tried installing Node you'll probably have a bunch of errors so I followed this tutorial to remove it: Remove Node
After you've done that follow Homebrew's instructions for installation, not the instructions here: Install Homebrew
Instructions are to use this code to install but take a look at their site for more clarification:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
Anyway, hope this helps anyone with similar issues on a Mac.
