diff --git a/[Mac OS] completely uninstall node + npm b/[Mac OS] completely uninstall node + npm
 To completely uninstall node + npm is to do the following:

 go to /usr/local/lib and delete any node and node_modules
 go to /usr/local/include and delete any node and node_modules directory
 if you installed with brew install node, then run brew uninstall node in your terminal
 check your Home directory for any "local" or "lib" or "include" folders, and delete any "node" or "node_modules" from there
 go to /usr/local/bin and delete any node executable
 You may need to do the additional instructions as well:

 remove: /usr/local/bin/npm
 remove: /usr/local/share/man/man1/node.1
 remove: /usr/local/lib/dtrace/node.d
 execute: rm -rf /Users/[homedir]/.npm

 Then download nvm and follow the instructions to install node. The latest versions of node come with npm, I believe, but you can also reinstall that as well.
