Issue
On Ubuntu is the possible to install Mathoid by
sudo apt-get install nodejs nodejs-legacy nodejs-dev npm mocha
npm install mathoid
cd node_modules/mathoid
npm test
But I need to do it on Fedora 23, and I don't see any nodejs legacy packages available.
If I compile without this package then I get lots of these errors

Question
What is the equivalent of nodejs-legacy on Fedora?
Solution
If you need to use an older version of node, you can see if it's available in the repo:
dnf info nodejs.x86_64 --showduplicates | grep Version
If that's one of the specific versions that you need, you can downgrade to it.
However, I would recommend that you use a 'virtual environment' to install different node versions simultaneously. nave is a great option. You could also try nvm.
