Installing node with brew fails on Mac OS Sierra

Question

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

Answer 1

Seems file /usr/local/opt/icu4c/lib/libicui18n.58.dylib does not exists in you system.

Please ensure that icu4c installed with Homebrew.

1. brew info icu4c
2. If already installed, try reinstall: brew reinstall icu4c
3. If not installed, try install: brew install icu4c

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

It's as easy as a common software, just download installation package from official site:NodeJS

and then download a recommended version(currently 8.11.3, end with .pkg), install it as a common software, then u can use it. I tried so many methods, and only this works for me.

Answer 4

Try restarting your machine. That helped me.

Answer 5

For high seirra, just "brew upgrade" makes magic!

Answer 6

Well I got this error trying to install @angular/cli, realized node might be out of date. Following @mircealungu 's exact steps didn't quite work for me, here is the modified version that worked for me.

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