Install Node.js and npm using Homebrew on OS X and macOS Use Homebrew to install and update Node.js on Mac. By Adam Stacoviak 2013-03-12T15:00:00Z #node +2. I'm new to Mac OS ecosystem, and I'm porting some projects from other computers to the Macbook. I have several projects that use npm packages, Mainly Laravel / Vue Projects.

What is npm?
npm makes it easy for JavaScript developers to share and reuse code, and makes it easy to update the code that you’re sharing, so you can build amazing things.
- Major Node.js versions enter Current release status for six months, which gives library authors time to add support for them. After six months, odd-numbered releases (9, 11, etc.) become unsupported, and even-numbered releases (10, 12, etc.) move to Active LTS status and are ready for general use.

Node versions and Long Term Support
