• [x] are reporting a bug others will be able to reproduce and not asking a question. If you're not sure or want to ask a question do so on our Discourse: https://discourse.brew.sh
• [x] have a problem with brew install (or upgrade, reinstall) a single, official formula (not cask)? If it's a general brew problem please file this issue at Homebrew/brew: https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/issues/new/choose. If it's a brew cask problem please file this issue at https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/issues/new/choose.

• [x] ran brew update and can still reproduce the problem?
• [x] ran brew doctor, fixed all issues and can still reproduce the problem?
• [x] ran brew gist-logs <formula> (where <formula> is the name of the formula that failed) and included the output link?
• [x] if brew gist-logs didn't work: ran brew config and brew doctor and included their output with your issue?

Here is the brew gist-logs node output : https://gist.github.com/15f2f526f74b7c13a137b70e08c76f6b

• What you were trying to do (and why)
  I was trying to install node, because I need it to develop on my Mac.

• What you expected to happen
  To have node installed.

• Step-by-step reproduction instructions (by running brew install commands)

• Install the macOS 10.14 (Mojave)
• Remove all the installed formulae: brew remove --force --ignore-dependencies $(brew list)
• Update brew : brew update
• Ensure all is okay brew doctor
• Install node brew install node

I tried to run xcode-select --install :

$ xcode-select --install

The python built by brew doesn't include zlib (even if you brew install zlib first) - so I worked around this by editing the node package to not depend on python@2 to stop brew installing it's own, and use the system default python 2 instead - which seems to have worked (at least it updated)

[uyjulian]

This error occurs with all requires python formulae which rely on zlib or zip file reading
Also, you aren't supposed to post issues occurring on 10.14 Mojave beta

[uyjulian]

Found your solution

29176

[zedtux]

Thank you @lgladdy for your tip, do you have the update formula somewhere please?

@uyjulian I'm not supposed to open issue related to 10.14 ... so how will you know the issue and how will I know a workaround or a fix I could submit within through a PR? I really don't get the point here.
Anyway thank you for linking this issue to the #29176. I don't really like the suggested solution. The purpose of homebrew isn't to ease the packages installation?
I rather prefer to find a definitive solution than polluting my Mac with additional external packages that I would have to cleanup after the real fix.

[uyjulian]

@zedtux https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/29176#issuecomment-398656987 Just run the commands and it fixed
You don't need to "cleanup after the real fix".

[zedtux]

Oops, sorry @uyjulian I miss understood the proposed solution, my bad.

[zedtux]

@sfdye's instructions from suggested issue #29176 by @uyjulian solved the node installation 🎉.

Thank you all.

On another of my Macs I got the following error installing the node package :

To solve this I have added the --with-openssl flag :

brew install node [email protected]

Then I got the same above issue which I fixed as described in the #29176 (comment).
