If you try to brew link node and it says something along the lines:

Error: Could not symlink include/node/openssl/archs/aix-gcc/asm/include/openssl/opensslconf.h Target /usr/local/include/node/openssl/archs/aix-gcc/asm/include/openssl/opensslconf.h already exists. You may want to remove it:

Try this:

brew link --overwrite --dry-run node | xargs rm
brew link node
