title: How to upgrade Node.js on a mac?
body: <p>I am running into an issue I won't get into that has potential solutions involving upgrading Node. Easy enough right? No, not at all. I have tried running the latest Node installer for Mac. I have tried upgrading with nvm. I have tried upgrading with <code>n</code>. No matter what I do my <code>node -v</code> doesn't change. I have tried all of the top posts' solutions related to this seemingly simple process. It did actually show a newer version number of Node after attempting to upgrade with <code>nvm</code> however after closing and opening the terminal it now shows the node version I began with.</p>
  <p>I suspect that I now have multiple installations of Node on my computer which just introduces a host of new problems. However, how the heck do I upgrade Node JS properly once and for all? Nothing seems to be working.</p>
