### Node Installation

We've noticed incompatible behavior on OSX using Node versions installed via nodejs.org or NVM. If you are receiving "Cannot locate a 64-bit Oracle Client library" when attemtping to access Oracle, try the following:

1. Uninstall Node
2. `brew update && brew install node`

If you wish to use NVM to maintain parallel Node installations, ensure that it defaults to using the Brew-installed `system` installation for compatibility with this library.
