node 5.5.0 already installed but node -v fetches with “v4.2.1” on OS X & homebrew?

Question

I\'m trying to update my nodejs v4.2.1 to the latest version and successfully got that. But node -v still gives me \'-v4.2.1\'.

Answer 1

Your path contains /usr/local/bin before /usr/local/Cellar. Since the version of node you're using is the homebrew one, fix it with:

PATH="/usr/local/Cellar:$PATH"

Next time you have a problem with brew, run brew doctor, it would have told you what to do
