    ==> Installing dependencies for node: brotli, c-ares, icu4c, libuv, jemalloc, libev, openssl@1.1 and nghttp2
    ==> Installing node dependency: brotli
    ==> Pouring brotli--1.0.9.arm64_big_sur.bottle.tar.gz
    🍺  /opt/homebrew/Cellar/brotli/1.0.9: 25 files, 2.3MB
    ==> Installing node dependency: c-ares
    ==> Pouring c-ares--1.17.1.arm64_big_sur.bottle.tar.gz
    🍺  /opt/homebrew/Cellar/c-ares/1.17.1: 85 files, 693.8KB
    ==> Installing node dependency: icu4c
    ==> Pouring icu4c--68.2.arm64_big_sur.bottle.tar.gz
    ==> Caveats
    icu4c is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /opt/homebrew,
    because macOS provides libicucore.dylib (but nothing else).
    
    ..
    
    ==> openssl@1.1
    A CA file has been bootstrapped using certificates from the system
    keychain. To add additional certificates, place .pem files in
      /opt/homebrew/etc/openssl@1.1/certs
    
    and run
      /opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@1.1/bin/c_rehash
    
    openssl@1.1 is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /opt/homebrew,
    because macOS provides LibreSSL.
    
    If you need to have openssl@1.1 first in your PATH, run:
      echo 'export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@1.1/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
    
    For compilers to find openssl@1.1 you may need to set:
      export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@1.1/lib"
      export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@1.1/include"
  4. Test if Node was installed correctly by command: node -v
