Additional context or description

I would like to add an improvement to the docs to describe a possible edge case that is not very clear to fix.

I had a global install of nx using a node version that I installed a long time ago and forgot how I had installed it. This node version was installed using Homebrew which is important since I was trying to upgrade my global install of nx to get rid of the warning message.

When I ran which nx I got:

❯ which nx
/opt/homebrew/bin/nx

I thought that I had installed nx with brew, but after checking brew list and brew info there was no nx installed, and googling showed no results of nx ever being installed through brew. I had already tried using npm uninstall -g nx but that didn't work either because I had switched to a node version manager. and even when disabling the version manager it wasn't using the brew installed version of node.

So ultimately the fix was use the brew installed npm directly /opt/homebrew/npm uninstall -g nx. Then I was able to reinstall using my fnm node and pnpm :)

My proposal is add an entry to troubleshooting with node to add a note about /opt/homebrew/bin/nx being shown with which nx even though it was installed using npm i -g nx and mention the fix

Thank you for the awesome project!
