Anyone here have trouble installing nodejs via asdf?
I’m only asking here as I’ve switched to using asdf today, and erlang and elixir have installed successfully.
I’ve installed 3 different versions of nodejs and set a global version as follows.
asdf list-all nodejs
asdf install nodejs 8.4.0
echo -e 'nodejs 8.4.0' >> ~/.tool-versions
My ~/.tool-versions looks like this:
erlang 20.0
elixir 1.4.4
nodejs 8.4.0
Yet, when it should report that it’s installed when I do:
asdf current nodejs
it returns an error:
version 8.0 is not installed for nodejs
And if I try to install it (again):
asdf install nodejs 8.4.0
outputs:
% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed
100 4756 0 4756 0 0 3942 0 --:--:-- 0:00:01 --:--:-- 3943
But when I test if it’s installed:
asdf list nodejs
output is:
No versions installed
I’ve seen this, but can’t find a fix: Install broken on OS X
This is holding up a new phoenix project I want to build, so would appreciate any help, thanks.
How have you fixed this?

I did have a problem similar to this a few months ago… I don’t remember the exact steps I used to resolve but it has to do with the need to import the gpg keyring for the release team as described here: GitHub - asdf-vm/asdf-nodejs: Node.js plugin for asdf version manager · GitHub
You will need gpg installed installed and configured first… which I installed using homebrew. Once I followed the gpg instructions and installed the keyring everything worked great. Hope this helps.

Thanks tme_317!
I saw the gpg instructions but they failed, even after I adjusted the path to asdf that homebrew uses, but didn’t know I had to install gpg as I assumed the instructions failed because I was using homebrew not installing via git.
For anyone else installing asdf via homebrew, make sure to:
first install gpg
brew search gpg
brew install gpg
then modify the instructions from the github asdf-nodejs page to where homebrew has installed asdf (check the path below is correct first):
bash /usr/local/opt/asdf/plugins/nodejs/bin/import-release-team-keyring
And you should be able to
asdf install nodejs <version>
