Installing Node.js with Homebrew ​

To install Node.js using Homebrew, follow these steps:

  1. Install Node.js: Now that Homebrew is installed and updated, you can install Node.js by running the following command:

    bash
    brew install node

    This command will install the latest stable version of Node.js on your system.

  2. Verify Node.js installation: To verify that Node.js is installed correctly, run the following commands to check the version numbers for Node.js and npm (the Node.js package manager):

    bash
    node --version
npm --version

    If both commands return version numbers, Node.js and npm are installed correctly.

  3. Install pnpm: We use pnpm as our package manager. To install pnpm, run the following command:

    bash
    npm install -g pnpm

    This command will install the latest version of pnpm and make it available system-wide.

  4. Install TypeScript: We use TypeScript as our programming language. To install TypeScript, run the following command:

    bash
    npm install -g typescript

    This command will install the latest version of TypeScript and make it available system-wide.

  5. Verify TypeScript installation: To verify that TypeScript is installed correctly, run the following command to check the TypeScript version:

    bash
    tsc --version

    If the command returns a version number, TypeScript is installed correctly.
