FYI for anyone looking for the downloads, v6.0 technically hasn't been released yet. It will most likely be out within a few hours. Edit: of course right after I say it isn't released, it is released. :) Release post: https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v6.0.0/ https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v6.0.0/

But I want it now! $ nvm ls v6 N/A $ echo ':(' :( On a more serious note this really is an awesome release. Kudos to everyone that works on Node.js! Ever since the "reunification" of node.js/io.js there's been a whirlwind of great activity both in adding features as well as LTS releases (which are critical for long term adoption of the platform).

  And it's now on nvm :) nvm install v6.0.0

Looks like there is not yet a Homebrew PR: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pulls https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pulls Current formula still points to v5.11: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/node.rb https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formul... EDIT: PR created: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/633 https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/633

  Looks like a PR was created ~4min ago. Sidenote - was just messing with Homebrew a few days ago, and found it a little bizarre that all of the recipes are in source control and require a pull to update, rather than being on a server somewhere.

      I think that's a different issue.
    - bronson 10y ago
      That issue says that Homebrew is doing just fine. Not painful.

    Seems reminiscent of the BSD ports approach, which is one of the major reasons a switch to FreeBSD (from Linux) is still on my personal roadmap.
