Answer 1

In my case using Linux Mint, I had to install nodejs in sudo mode.

Android Studio runs the commands on the terminal as a super user, so I had nodejs installed on my user but not "root" (sudo).

To install, I followed this instructions: https://github.com/nodesource/distributions/blob/master/README.md
