安装节点和 npm 时出现问题

Question

I am trying to run the command

1. brew install node

and getting the warning:

node 12.12.0 is already installed, it's just not linked
You can use `brew link node` to link this version.

2. When running brew link node , I get the error

Error: Could not symlink include/node/common.gypi
Target /usr/local/include/node/common.gypi
already exists. You may want to remove it:
  rm '/usr/local/include/node/common.gypi'

To force the link and overwrite all conflicting files:
  brew link --overwrite node

To list all files that would be deleted:
  brew link --overwrite --dry-run node

3. Next, I ran rm '/usr/local/include/node/common.gypi' and it asks

override rw-r--r--  root/wheel for /usr/local/include/node/common.gypi?

4. When typing y

it says

rm: /usr/local/include/node/common.gypi: Permission denied

How do I fix the problem with the installation?

Thanks

Answer 1

I assume that you are using Mac. try

sudo rm: /usr/local/include/node/common.gypi

Also add node PATH to your environment variables.
