So I wanted to build this nodejs tool in Raspbian. So as the instructions say I need to npm install I go ahead and install node with apt-get:
sudo apt-get install nodejs npm
Then I try to compile/install, and I get this error:
$ npm install
> configure@0.0.1 install /home/pi/Documents/Code/buzzerbot9000/node_modules/configure
> node install.js
sh: 1: node: not found
npm WARN This failure might be due to the use of legacy binary "node"
npm WARN For further explanations, please read
/usr/share/doc/nodejs/README.Debian
npm ERR! configure@0.0.1 install: `node install.js`
npm ERR! Exit status 127
So apparently the installation of nodejs package didn't create any node command available globally. Then I look for it via apt-file:
$ apt-file search /usr/bin/node
clustershell: /usr/bin/nodeset
genders: /usr/bin/nodeattr
lbdb: /usr/bin/nodelist2lbdb
node-gyp: /usr/bin/node-gyp
node-static: /usr/bin/node-static
nodejs: /usr/bin/nodejs
nodejs-dbg: /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/nodejs
nodejs-legacy: /usr/bin/node
noweb: /usr/bin/nodefs
osm2pgsql: /usr/bin/nodecachefilereader
So, I guess I need to install nodejs-legacy, I do that, and I get the important error to be highlighted here:
$ npm install

I've googled for this and apparently it's because of having an old version of something (see for example this other question).
So, what should I really upgrade here, and in what way (should I uninstall the debian package first and use npm? I'm lost). Please explain it like to a 5 year old because I'm new to node.
