Homebrew-core: Getting error while installing node via terminal

[Thirudhas]

If Homebrew was updated on Aug 10-11th 2016 and brew update always says Already up-to-date. you need to run: cd "$(brew --repo)" && git fetch && git reset --hard origin/master && brew update.

Please follow the general troubleshooting steps first:

• [ ] Ran brew update and retried your prior step?
• [ ] Ran brew doctor, fixed as many issues as possible and retried your prior step?
• [ ] If you're seeing permission errors tried running sudo chown -R $(whoami) $(brew --prefix)?

Bug reports:

Please replace this line with a brief summary of your issue AND if reporting a build issue include the link from:

brew gist-logs <formula>
(where <formula> is the name of the formula that failed to build).

Formula Requests:

Please note by far the quickest way to get a new formula into Homebrew is to file a Pull Request.

We will consider your request but it may be closed if it's something we're not actively planning to work on.

Hi,

I have installed 10.12[Sierra] OS and I tried to uninstall and install node via terminal but I am getting the below error:
"==> Pouring node-7.0.0.sierra.bottle.tar.gz
Error: The brew link step did not complete successfully".

Again I tried to uninstall and install but it is throwing Warning as:
Warning: node-7.0.0 already installed, it's just not linked..
Kindly help me to resolve this error.

$ brew uninstall -f node
$ brew install node

Thanks @zmwangx,

Installation success after trying this command $ brew link --overwrite node

Thanks @Thirudhas - that also worked for me on Mac OSX El Capitan.
