My node version is:

Answer 1

In my case none of the other answers worked because I previously downgraded to node8. So instead of doing above, following worked for me:

which returned /usr/local/bin/node@8 instead of /usr/local/bin/node

so i executed this command:

brew uninstall node@8

which worked and then downloaded latest pkg from official site and installed. After that I had to close my terminal and start again to access new version
