Installing node with brew fails on Mac OS Sierra

  • 3

I’m trying to install node with homebrew on macOS Sierra.
I run 

 brew install node

After a seemingly successful install I get the following when trying to run node:

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/icu4c/lib/libicui18n.58.dylib
  Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/node
  Reason: image not found
Abort trap: 6
homebrewnode.js

      This is the series of incantations that eventually worked for me based on this link suggested by @robertklep and @vovkasm.

      brew uninstall --force node
brew uninstall icu4c && brew install icu4c
brew unlink icu4c && brew link icu4c --force
brew install node

      I’m not sure if they’re all needed, but given that I can’t get my machine in the previous state… I’ll just leave this info here, maybe it’ll be useful for somebody else.
