I've found most Mac users here seem to use Homebrew. I have not tried Homebrew myself, but I have used MacPorts for 8 years, and I am a manager of the MacPorts project, so of course I would invite you to give MacPorts a try. Our nodejs and npm ports are kept up to date, and if you want the latest development version instead of the latest stable, you can use the nodejs-devel port instead. MacPorts has been around a long time -- almost as long as OS X itself -- which I feel gives it a kind of maturity that Homebrew may not yet have achieved. You mileage may of course vary! If you try MacPorts and experience trouble, we're happy to help you on the macports-users mailing list or in #MacPorts on Freenode IRC. -- -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
