Install Node & NPM on macOS (Homebrew, NVM, Official Installer)

Using Homebrew (Recommended)

brew install node

Using Node Version Manager (NVM)

NVM allows you to install and manage multiple Node.js versions:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.0/install.sh | bash
source ~/.zshrc
nvm install --lts
nvm use --lts

Using Official Installer

1. Download the installer from nodejs.org
2. Run the downloaded .pkg file
3. Follow the installation wizard

Verify Installation

node --version
npm --version

If these commands output the current versions, the installation was successful.
