For those using nvm and homebrew on OSX, be aware that installing fx (a slick utility!) via homebrew will also install node as a homebrew dependency, which nvm will then treat as the "system" version of node. I clubbed my head against the wall for some time trying to figure out why my native npm packages wouldn't compile correctly (node version mismatch) before checking nvm and realizing that it had switched to "system" node. As an alternative, fx may be installed with npm itself: npm install -g fx.

Great article, love your posts!
