Node won't upgrade beyond v6.11.2
When I run node -v I see:
node -v
v6.11.2
I run brew update, brew upgrade, and update all npm modules every morning when I turn on my MacBook. I have npm 6.4.1.
I went to the Node downloads website, downloaded the installer, and installed v10.13.0. node -v still says v.6.11.2. I restarted my computer, ran the install again, no change.
I think I see the problem. When I run echo $PATH is see:
/Users/TDK/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.3/bin:
/Users/TDK/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.3@global/bin:
/Users/TDK/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.3/bin:
/Users/TDK/.nvm/versions/node/v6.11.2/bin:
/usr/local/mysql/bin:/Users/TDK/google-cloud-sdk/bin:
/usr/local/heroku/bin:
/usr/local/bin:
/usr/bin:
/bin:
/usr/sbin:
/sbin:
/Users/TDK/.rvm/bin
/usr/local/bin is the path to Node, so that's good. But above it is a path to /Users/TDK/.nvm/versions/node/v6.11.2/bin. I need to get rid of that path. I opened /etc/paths and saw:
/usr/local/bin
/usr/bin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin
It looks like I have another paths file somewhere. All those paths above /usr/local/bin were installed when I was in coding bootcamp, I can get rid of all of them. Where might this other paths file be? I tried Spotlight to search for the first path, it couldn't find any file containing that string.
It looks like these are all path for one specific user /Users/TDK/ (that's me), not global paths for all users. Is there somewhere in /Users/TDK/ with paths? I commented out and then deleted lines involving RVM in the following files, without fixing the problem.
~/.bashrc
~/.bash_profile
~/.profile
I checked these files but didn't see anything suspicious:
/etc/profile
/etc/bashrc
Another thought is that nvm is causing the problem. The path
/Users/TDK/.nvm/versions/node/v6.11.2/bin:
is the problem. Maybe instead of removing this path I can alter nvm to point to the latest version of node?

Remove the Homebrew-installed Node.js, and (possibly) re-install from the official installer. And make sure that it's not caused bynvm(runnvm currenton the command line and see if that returns anything).

Do you want to remove node 6.11.2 from your computer?
If not, just run nvm install node. That will install the lastest node, if you want to install a specific version, run nvm install 10.10.0 instead
Then run nvm use node or nvm run node --version

I didn't need to delete the path, I just needed to change the path, which now reads "/Users/TDK/.nvm/versions/node/v11.2.0/bin". The nvm documentation says that "nvm install node" will "download, compile, and install the latest release of node". I'll put "nvm install node" into my checklist for regular software updates.
