Instructions on how to fix npm if you've installed Node through Homebrew on Mac OS X or Linuxbrew

OBSOLETE

This entire guide is based on an old version of Homebrew/Node and no longer applies. It was only ever intended to fix a specific error message which has since been fixed. I've kept it here for historical purposes, but it should no longer be used. Homebrew maintainers have fixed things and the options mentioned don't exist and won't work.

I still believe it is better to manually install npm separately since having a generic package manager maintain another package manager is a bad idea, but the instructions below don't explain how to do that.

Fixing npm On Mac OS X for Homebrew Users

Installing node through Homebrew can cause problems with npm for globally installed packages. To fix it quickly, use the solution below. An explanation is also included at the end of this document.

Fix "unsupported new OS, trying as if it were 10.6-10.7" from reattach-to-user-namespace on Mountain Lion (probably in tmux).
# Start by checking if they fixed it upstream:
brew update
brew upgrade reattach-to-user-namespace
# If it says it's already installed, they haven't fixed it upstream. So do this:
# Edit the recipe:
brew edit reattach-to-user-namespace
