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

Issue

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

I've read about href="https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Installing-Node.js-via-package-manager#debian-and-ubuntu-based-linux-distributions">Ubuntu different way of doing it (issues?), so this is what I've done in order to install it:

sudo apt-get install npm

sudo npm install -g grunt-cli

Typing grunt after that I've got the error:

/usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory

So, I've tried:

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup | sudo bash -

sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

sudo apt-get update

And trying again, and still getting the error, I've tried:

sudo add-apt-repository https://launchpad.net/~chris-lea/+archive/node.js/

sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

I've got this message:

nodejs is already the newest version.
0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 3 not to upgrade.

I did try a cleanup just in case:

sudo apt-get autoremove

But nope, the error is still there: when I type grunt I still get /usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory

What should I do?

Solution

Doing a symlink solves the issue:

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