The instructions as given did not work. The reason they did not work was that, while my .bashrc was made aware of nvm, my running bash process did not know about nvm until I ran ". ~/bashrc", after which things worked as expected.
nvm is way better than homebrew for managing node installations:
- can install multiple versions
- can choose which version of node to install
- easy to clean up under ~/.nvm
- there are still some rough edges with /usr/local on El Cap -- nvm avoids those altogether
Clarify that io.js is the modern version of Node and explain a little more about how to get set up with nvm, and that it lets you switch between multiple io.js/node versions.
It's pretty straightforward -- io.js is available through Homebrew so all you run is `brew install iojs` and then you can still run `node` from the command line. Also mentioned nvm since it's really good for switching between Node/io.js versions.
