Another active Homebrew process is already in progress

Question

When I try to do this:

brew install node

I get this message:

 /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Homebrew/utils/lock.sh: line 19:         


        

Answer 1

If the above answer does not resolve your problem try removing the homebrew process locks with this command:

rm -rf /usr/local/var/homebrew/locks
