Install NodeJS, Yarn via Homebrew

Notice

Thank you everyone. For became a stargazers.

I had created this guideline for personal note purpose (first on Gist and then this repository)

Pull request is available. Please help me contribute this one 😂.

Legacy note (guideline) had moved to branch legacy-note

Prerequisites

• Homebrew should be installed (Command line tools for Xcode are included).

Getting started

Part A: Install asdf-vm (A parts from official website)

1. Install asdf via Homebrew. Current asdf-vm version is 0.10.0

   brew install asdf
   
   brew install gpg gawk # These are `asdf-nodejs` plugin dependencies
   

2. Add following line to your profile. (.profile or .zshrc or .zprofile)

   # asdf
   [ -s "/$(brew --prefix asdf)/libexec/asdf.sh" ] && . $(brew --prefix asdf)/libexec/asdf.sh
   

3. Close and open your terminal again. Or Choose one from the following command once for reload your profile. (.profile or .zshrc or .zprofile)

   Example

   • source ~/.profile
   • source ~/.zshrc
   • source ~/.zprofile

4. Verify asdf is installed

   asdf version

5. Install asdf plugins

   asdf plugin add nodejs
   asdf plugin add yarn
   

6. Verify asdf and plugins are ready!

   ❯ asdf list
   
   nodejs
   No versions installed
   yarn
   No versions installed
   

Part B: Install nodejs and yarn

NOTE

If you are matched to these condition below. You must install NodeJS v16+ (LTS Gallium)

• Using Apple Silicon machine ✅
• Installed homebrew on Native build (homebrew PATH: /opt/homebrew) ✅

Alternatively, If your had configured your SHELL to support Homebrew native & Homebrew rosetta2 (e.g. script below like I did) You can install v15 or lower via Homebrew rosetta2. But I prefer to use v16+ (LTS Gallium)

# My .zprofile

# Apple M1
if [ "$(uname -m)" = "arm64" ]; then
  # Use arm64 brew, with fallback to x86 brew
  if [ -f /opt/homebrew/bin/brew ]; then
    export PATH="/usr/local/bin${PATH+:$PATH}";
    eval $(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)
  fi
else
  # Use x86 brew, with fallback to arm64 brew
  if [ -f /usr/local/bin/brew ]; then
    export PATH="/opt/homebrew/bin${PATH+:$PATH}";
    eval $(/usr/local/bin/brew shellenv)
  fi
fi

1. Install nodejs and yarn

   Current LTS nodejs version is 16.14.x, Codename: Gallium

   asdf install nodejs lts
   asdf install yarn latest
   

2. Set nodejs and yarn globally for your machine

   asdf global nodejs lts
   asdf global yarn latest
   

3. Verify they are installed

   ❯ node -v
   v16.14.2
   
   ❯ npm -v
   8.5.0
   
   ❯ npx -v
   8.5.0
   
   ❯ yarn -v
   1.22.18
   
   ❯ asdf list
   nodejs
   16.14.2
   lts
   yarn
   1.22.18
   
   ❯ asdf current
   nodejs          lts             /Users/nijicha/.tool-versions
   yarn            1.22.18         /Users/nijicha/.tool-versions
   

4. Enjoy! 🥳 ❤️
