dyld[68210]: Library not loaded: /opt/homebrew/opt/icu4c/lib/libicui18n.74.dylib when I try to use npm

I have installed 3 different versions of node, and when I try to initialise a new project using npm create ..., I encountered this error:

dyld\[68210\]: Library not loaded: /opt/homebrew/opt/icu4c/lib/libicui18n.74.dylib
Referenced from: \<24066746-1ED4-3611-A914-272C96B743A8\> /opt/homebrew/Cellar/node@16/16.20.2_1/bin/node

And then I decided to check which version of node was linked, and ran node --version which again returned:

dyld[71989]: Library not loaded: /opt/homebrew/opt/icu4c/lib/libicui18n.74.dylib

tl;dr: I tried initializing a new project using npm create but encountered an unexpected error, which further led me to encountering the same error when I was investigating my node version

What worked for me:

brew update
brew upgrade icu4c
brew link --force icu4c
brew reinstall node

After this, both my node --version and npm create commands worked as expected
