r/mac on Reddit: How to install node.js on Mac OS?
July 24, 2025 -

If you're wondering why I had to ask this and not just simply install it directly, I had to install and manage different python versions on Mac using pyenv/virtualenv as I heard directly installing the python compiler from the official website would mess up with the system version of python and ruin the os in several ways.

Which is the proper way to install node.js without compromising my OS or my system in any way? (I'm using the latest Mac OS version)
