Cannot install NodeJs: /usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory

Question

I\'m trying to install nodeJs into my Ubuntu 14.04 in order to use GruntJs.

I\'ve read about Ubuntu different way of doing it (issues?), so this is what I\'ve done i

Answer 1

I've found this is often a misnaming error, if you install from a package manager you bin may be called nodejs so you just need to symlink it like so

ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node

Answer 2

Just rename the command or file name ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node by this command

Answer 3

sudo PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/bin" npm install -g <package-name>

Answer 4

I think you should upgrade lastest node version

sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable

Answer 5

The issue is not with the version of node. Instead, it is the way NodeJS is installed by default in Ubuntu. When running a Node application in Ubuntu you have to run nodejs somethign.js instead of node something.js

So the application name called in the terminal is nodejs and not node. This is why there is a need for a symlink to simply forward all the commands received as node to nodejs.

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node

Answer 6

if you are able to access node on ubuntu terminal using nodejs command,then this problem can be simply solved using -creating a symbolic link of nodejs and node using

ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node

and this may solve the problem
