update from v4.4.5 -> v4.4.7 fails without error about installer HOT 10 CLOSED

@gr2m Try closing and reopening the installer. I experienced the same thing, and it seems that it's not updating the version after installation.

from installer.

that was my very first run ^^

Restarted the installer, same result. I also get a prompt to enter my sudo password, not sure if that’s intended. Happy to leave my node version as is for some time and help debugging the issue

from installer.

@gr2m Do you use a version manager like nvm? You can also check your PATH to ensure something isn't resolving node before the vanilla install. Another thing to do is check the version of the node binary in /usr/local/bin.

from installer.

Yes, I use nvm, is that the problem?

$ which node
/Users/gregor/.nvm/versions/node/v4.4.5/bin/node

from installer.

@gr2m Oh cool. Yep, I believe it is. The node installer is going to update the binary in /usr/local/bin, not where nvm is installing. And, if your PATH, is anything like mine, the nvm directories are at the front, and therefore resolve node before /usr/local/bin. In another issue, I believe you can execute nvm use system to grab the updated version.

from installer.

yeah I can confirm that the node at /usr/local/bin has been updated.

$ /usr/local/bin/node -v
v4.4.7

Maybe let’s update the README unless you have an idea how to make it work with nvm?

from installer.

@gr2m Ok, good. Yeah, I did open #19, but I won't have time to work on it anytime soon. Maybe you or someone else can give it a shot? ;-)

from installer.

@gr2m What happens if you nvm use system?

from installer.

$ nvm use system
Now using system version of node: v4.4.7

from installer.

I’m okay closing this now in favor of #19. Thanks folks!
