Installing Bower on Ubuntu

Question

I\'m trying to install Bower on XUbuntu 13.10, following the instructions on the Bower home page, after doing sudo apt-get install npm and sudo npm install -g

Answer 1

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

or install legacy nodejs:

sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy

As seen in this GitHub issue.

Answer 2

Hi another solution to this problem is to simply add the node nodejs binary folder to your PATH using the following command:

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

See NPM GitHub for better explanation
