How to install npm for node.js installed using homebrew installed on custom path?

I am using Mac OS X Lion 10.7 and installed homebrew with an alternative installation on a user path in order to save it in a user area that does not require sudo . I installed node.js successfully. But npm not installed.

Install node first, and then try again. Maybe node is installed, but not in the PATH? Note that running as sudo can change envs. PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:~/Unix/homebrew/bin Hoons-MacBook-Air:~ Eonil$ ls ~/Unix/homebrew/bin/ brew node node-waf Hoons-MacBook-Air:~ Eonil$

I see that the path to the node binary is being added to the $PATH variable. I don't know why npm complains. How can i install it?

I got a response from the Stackoverlow / Unix and Linux page.

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/25605/how-to-add-home-directory-path-to-be-discovered-by-unix-which-command

The main problem was that the system does not extend the ~ home directory character. So I had to set the absolute directory using the $HOME environment variable.

I'm not sure. But try adding node to /usr/local/bin as shown below.

 ln -s /usr/local/bin/node ~/Unix/homebrew/bin/node
