==> Caveats
node@12 is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local,
because this is an alternate version of another formula.

If you need to have node@12 first in your PATH, run:
  echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/node@12/bin:$PATH"' >> /Users/marslo/.bash_profile

For compilers to find node@12 you may need to set:
  export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/node@12/lib"
  export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/node@12/include"
