Running older version of Node in terminal on Mac

Question

I have had the latest version of node(v12) by running

brew install node

but I want to have the previous version(v10) I have uninstalled node and installed the previous version by running

brew install node@10

now when I run node --version I get nothing. How can I link the node keyword to what now is node@10 on mac?

Answer 1

There is nothing like linking the node keyword to node@10.

The @10 represents the current version of the environment installed.

Check if you have installed Xcode. Node.js and some of its components will rely on Xcode's Command Line Tools package.
