I installed Node via homebrew a couple of weeks ago.

I know need to install nvm to run older versions of Node. To do so, I need to uninstall my current Node.

If I run:

$ brew uninstall node

I understand that I will uninstall npm and Node.

But since I installed Node, I have installed many packages via npm.

Will running 

 $ brew uninstall node

and then installing nvm via homebrew, and then reinstalling node and npm via nvm break anything in the other packages installed via npm in the last weeks?

    Nvm actually just deals where the pointer for node is for the command line. So you can have several versions of node with different npm packages. You should be able to just download nvm, and then redownload whatever npm packages you need – chapinkapa Dec 11 '15 at 21:09
