Uninstall nodejs from OSX Yosemite

# first:
lsbom -f -l -s -pf /var/db/receipts/org.nodejs.pkg.bom | while read f; do  sudo rm /usr/local/${f}; done
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node /usr/local/lib/node_modules /var/db/receipts/org.nodejs.*

# To recap, the best way (I've found) to completely uninstall node + npm is to do the following:

# go to /usr/local/lib and delete any node and node_modules
cd /usr/local/lib
sudo rm -rf node*

# go to /usr/local/include and delete any node and node_modules directory
cd /usr/local/include
sudo rm -rf node*

# if you installed with brew install node, then run brew uninstall node in your terminal
brew uninstall node

# check your Home directory for any "local" or "lib" or "include" folders, and delete any "node" or "node_modules" from there
# go to /usr/local/bin and delete any node executable
cd /usr/local/bin
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/npm
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/node
ls -las

# you may need to do the additional instructions as well:
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/share/man/man1/node.1
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/dtrace/node.d
sudo rm -rf ~/.npm



#Once you have Homebrew squared away, use it to install Node Version Manager (NVM). NVM is cool as you can run multiple node versions on one box. Install NVM with Hombrew:
brew install nvm
#Once NVM is installed, you need to tell your unix shell (Terminal) to load NVM when it opens. This code edits your .profile to do so:
echo "source $(brew --prefix nvm)/nvm.sh" >> ~/.profile
#NVM is installed and will run whenever you open a new terminal window, now we need to use NVM to install Node:
nvm install stable
