Output

Okay, this is a common issue with Homebrew on macOS, especially after updating packages. **The Problem:** The error message tells you: 1. `http-server` (which runs using `node`) needs a specific version of the `icu4c` library: `libicui18n.73.dylib`. 2. Your installed `node` executable (`/opt/homebrew/Cellar/node/21.5.0/bin/node`) was built expecting that version 73 library. 3. The dynamic linker (`dyld`) cannot find that specific file (`libicui18n.73.dylib`) in any of the standard locations, including the location where `icu4c` version 74.2 seems to be installed (`/opt/homebrew/Cellar/icu4c/74.2/lib/`). This usually happens because `icu4c` (a dependency for Node.js) was updated (likely to version 74.2) *after* Node.js (version 21.5.0) was installed. Node.js is still linked against the *old* version (73) which is no longer present. **How to Fix It:** The most reliable solution is usually to reinstall Node.js so that it links against the *currently* installed version of `icu4c`. **Solution 1: Reinstall Node.js (Recommended)** 1. Open your Terminal. 2. Run the following Homebrew command:

    brew reinstall node
    

3. This command will download and reinstall Node.js, forcing it to link against the libraries currently available on your system (including the newer `icu4c` version 74). 4. After the command finishes, try running `http-server` again:

    http-server
    

**Solution 2: Update Homebrew and Upgrade Node (If reinstall fails or you want the latest)** Sometimes, just updating everything resolves these linking issues. 1. Update Homebrew's package list:

    brew update
    

2. Upgrade Node.js (and its dependencies if needed):

    brew upgrade node
    

* Alternatively, you can upgrade *all* outdated packages, which might include Node:

        brew upgrade
        

3. Try running `http-server` again:

    http-server
    

**Solution 3: Check Links (Less likely to fix this specific version issue, but worth knowing)** Sometimes Homebrew's symbolic links can get messed up. 1. Run `brew doctor`. It might report issues and suggest fixes. 2. You can try relinking `icu4c` and `node`, although this probably won't fix the *version* mismatch:

    brew unlink icu4c && brew link icu4c
    brew unlink node && brew link node
    

3. Try `http-server` again. **Start with Solution 1 (`brew reinstall node`) as it directly addresses the likely cause.** If that doesn't work, try Solution 2.
