Fixing npm On Mac OS X for Homebrew Users

If you just want to fix the issue quickly, scroll down to the "solution" section below.

Explanation of the issue

If you're a Mac Homebrew user and you installed node via Homebrew, there is a major philosophical issue with the way Homebrew and NPM work together. If you install node with Homebrew and then try to do npm update npm -g, you will see an error like this:

$ npm update npm -g

To run this, you can try:

curl -ks https://gist.github.com/nicerobot/2697848/raw/uninstall-node.sh | bash

I haven't tested this script doing it this way but i run a lot of my Gists like this so maybe this one'll work too.

Alternatively,

curl -ksO https://gist.github.com/nicerobot/2697848/raw/uninstall-node.sh

chmod +x ./uninstall-node.sh
