How can I install Meteor-Up (mup) correctly?

Question

I am trying to install Meteor-Up (mup) for deploying an app from my Ubuntu 14.04 laptop to a Ubuntu 14.04 server, but it does not seem to install correctly. How can I install mup correctly?

I know that I need npm to in order to install mup. So, I have successfully installed npm with:

$ sudo apt-get install npm

Then, I try to install mup with:

$ sudo npm install -g mup

Install log:

After this whenever I try to use the $ mup command or $ mup -help (to check that it installed properly), I get the following message:

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

Am I missing part of the installation process, since it seems to recognize that mup is a command? I would like to know how to fix this issue and an explanation of the problem would be a bonus. Thank you for any help!

Answer 1

Node.js was not installed properly, double check to see if you have installed node properly following this instructions.

Linux
Other Operating Systems

Node is not properly linked, using this command should fix that. But a better solution is to reinstall Node.js from those links.

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

Now it recognizes the commands $ mup and $ mup -help.

Answer 2

I think you need to install nodejs via this: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/installing-node.js-via-package-manager#debian-and-ubuntu-based-linux-distributions

That'll fix the node issue.
