Proper setup for Node and NPM on OS X
Raw
gistfile1.txt
Uninstalling Node + NPM is bitchy at best, steps listed here worked (removed it from El Capitan 10.11.2):

Now for the installation, these steps (still) worked fine for me (installed on El Capitan 10.11.2):

When brew errors out with something like 'The brew link step did not complete' then you may have permissions troubles.
Below this error message will be listed the offending file/directory.
Make sure you have permissions. This will probably require some form of chown-jitsu?
```sh
$ sudo chown -R `whoami` /usr/local/...offending path here...
```
