Question

I am trying to use homebrew as much as possible. What\'s the suggested way to install the following on OS X?

Answer 1

For install with zsh and Homebrew:

brew install nvm

Then Add the following to ~/.zshrc or your desired shell configuration file:

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
. "/usr/local/opt/nvm/nvm.sh"

Then install a node version and use it.

nvm install 7.10.1
nvm use 7.10.1
