I installed NodeJs with the following commands: 

brew install node

It downloaded the version 5.5.0 of NodeJs.

I want the version 4.1.2 (for Ionic compatibility).

How to download this specific one?

I can't run brew switch node 4.1.2 since I've never downloaded it before.

    Instead of homebrew, give nvm a try. https://github.com/creationix/nvm Allows easy switching between node versions, or easily updating node versions. – clay Jan 29 '16 at 13:47

May I suggest using nvm instead?

With nvm you can switch between node versions really easy:

nvm install 4.2

And you can install multiple versions of node and switch between them as you wish.

You can search available versions of node to install by running:

brew search node

The closest version would be "node4-lts". To obtain that version, run:

brew install homebrew/versions/node4-lts
