MEAN Stack yo meanjs returns errors when creating new project

I've been strugging to get this set up all day and keep ending up with the same issue... I wonder if anyone can help and I'm totally stuck. I've installed node.js and NPM using brew on my mac, that all seems to be working well and I got it running without any errors (eventually!)

When I run yo meanjs this is what happens....

You're using the official MEAN.JS generator.
? What mean.js version would you like to generate? 0.4.1
0.4.1
? In which folder would you like the project to be generated? This can     be changed later. mean
Cloning the MEAN repo.......
? What would you like to call your application? MEAN
? How would you describe your application? Full-Stack JavaScript with    MongoDB, Express, AngularJS, and Node.js
? How would you describe your application in comma seperated key words? MongoDB, Express, AngularJS, Node.js
? What is your company/author name? Jane
? Would you like to generate the article example CRUD module? No
? Would you like to generate the chat example module? No
create mean/package.json
create mean/bower.json
create mean/config/env/default.js
Running npm install for you....

Then I get the following errors (partial error result as its too long for this...450 lines!):

   Error: Command failed: /bin/sh -c cd mean && npm install
    npm WARN engine [email protected]: wanted: {"node":">=0.8 <=0.12 || >=1 <=2"} (current: {"node":"5.1.0","npm":"3.3.12"})

        return node::Buffer::New(v8::Isolate::GetCurrent(), data, size);
               ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Can anyone point me in the right direction I'm a newby to this and very confused as to why it's not working!!! I've tried removing everything and re-installing but I'm still hitting a brick wall at this point.

After battling with this all day I figured out the answer right after posting... The issue is with the node version wanted: {"node":">=0.8 <=0.12 || >=1 <=2"}

To fix this you need to....

  1. Install homebrew versions $ brew tap homebrew/versions
  2. $ brew search node will show you a list of versions you can use. Choose the best one for you and
  3. brew unlink node to make sure it's unlinked then finally
  4. $ brew install node010 to install the 0.10 version of Node.JS
