env: node: No such file or directory in mac

NOTE: Only mac users!

1. uninstall node completely with the commands

curl -ksO https://gist.githubusercontent.com/nicerobot/2697848/raw/uninstall-node.sh
chmod +x ./uninstall-node.sh
./uninstall-node.sh
rm uninstall-node.sh

Or you could check out this website: How do I completely uninstall Node.js, and reinstall from beginning (Mac OS X)

if this doesn't work, you need to remove node via control panel or any other method. As long as it gets removed.

2. Install node via this website: https://nodejs.org/en/download/

If you use nvm, you can use:

nvm install node

You can already check if it works, then you don't need to take the following steps with: npm -v and then node -v

if you have nvm installed: command -v nvm

3. Uninstall npm using the following command:

sudo npm uninstall npm -g

Or, if that fails, get the npm source code, and do:

sudo make uninstall

If you have nvm installed, then use: nvm uninstall npm

4. Install npm using the following command: npm install -g grunt

I was getting this env: node: No such file or directory error when running the job through Jenkins.

What I did to fix it - added export PATH="$PATH:"/usr/local/bin/ at the beginning of the script that Jenkins job executes.

I solved it this way:

$ brew uninstall --force node
$ brew uninstall --force npm

after it

$ brew install node

which suggested me to overwrite simlinks

Error: The `brew link` step did not complete successfully
The formula built, but is not symlinked into /usr/local
Could not symlink share/doc/node/gdbinit
Target /usr/local/share/doc/node/gdbinit
already exists. You may want to remove it:
  rm '/usr/local/share/doc/node/gdbinit'

To force the link and overwrite all conflicting files:
  brew link --overwrite node

after executing

$ brew link --overwrite node

everything worked again.
