Homebrew Node download errors

[swissflyer]

Hi, I recently downloaded Homebrew and now am attempting to install Node. I ran into a few errors when running
"brew install node"

Pouring node-15.4.0.catalina.bottle.tar.gz
Error: The brew link step did not complete successfully
The formula built, but is not symlinked into /usr/local
Could not symlink bin/node
Target /usr/local/bin/node
already exists. You may want to remove it:
rm '/usr/local/bin/node'

Additionally, at the end it printed

Warning: The post-install step did not complete successfully
You can try again using brew postinstall node
==> Summary
🍺 /usr/local/Cellar/node/15.4.0: 3,273 files, 55.4MB
Error: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/liberica-jdk-8-full.jdk/Contents/Home is not a valid keg

I am new to Homebrew and would appreciate any help on the matter. Thank you!

What does brew info node show you? My guess is you have an old version of node that didn't uninstall properly.

Btw, it looks like these are the uninstallation instructions for the JDK you have installed: https://bell-sw.com/pages/liberica_install_guide-8u272/#how-to-uninstall-liberica

Did you get it fixed?

Not yet...I got the invalid keg error to go away. However am still working on linking /usr/local/bin etc....
I found out that the python variable in my path was from my ~/zprofile from downloading python at some time. However my path is still /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Public:/usr/local/share/dotnet:~/.dotnet/tools:/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/Commands and I need to find out why

I see. Well, good to know you're making progress. Good luck!
