Description of issue

I installed n through brew and want to manage with this my node environment.
But when I install angular afterwards it always installs also node (also node 23 which is not recommended for production.)
Sure, I could install angular with NPM, but I like to do brew upgrade to update my angular-cli etc.

Is there some solution for this?

[gromgit]

I don't think so. All Node-dependent formulae rely on Homebrew-built Nodes for reliability and reproducibility reasons (any Homebrew Node upgrade will trigger a retest against all its dependencies), so all such formulae will have a stable reference Node that can be counted on, and which can conceivably differ between formulae.

n allows users to swap out versions at will, nullifying that guarantee and potentially causing formulae to break without warning.

Sidenote: I'm not an active Node user, but I absolutely disagree with the recommended solution in Switching to n Managed Node.js. Disk space is cheap, time spent debugging sudden failures when you activate a new Node version that hasn't been tested against third-party software is bloody expensive. Far better to let Homebrew manage the Node installs that Homebrew formulae have been built and tested against, let n manage the Node(s) that you personally want, and swallow the extra space requirements.
