I'm creating 3 VM's. I set up the first two with nodejs/npm but am having problems with the third. (Note: I realize cloning would have been far more expedient, but that's outside of scope of question.)

In the third, I've installed nodejs and npm using the sudo apt-get install method for each. After installing both I ran sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node to link node to nodejs. Unfortunately, after performing this node fails to work; node -v returns nothing while nodejs -v returns v0.10.25.

Any leads as to what error was made or how to resolve? I've tried both unlinking and removing and recreating /usr/bin/node multiple times.

Note: Similar problem listed here (alias of nodejs as node on 14.04), but mine is different enough to support a new topic, I believe.

  • Thanks Pieter, you're right. The selected answer's suggestion of installing nodejs-legacy resolved this issue. Fantastic; thanks again. I'll accept the duplicate warning for this question given it is indeed a duplicate. – kuanb Oct 27 '15 at 19:05
