Can't Install on debian server

[hiperbolt]

I encontered two issues, first its the fact that in debian node doesnt exist, and the program is calling for node instead of nodejs; I fixed it by making a symlink. Second issue I encontered I still can't fix:

root@chronos2:~# npm install -g stop-server

[email protected] uninstall /usr/local/lib/node_modules/stop-server node bin stop

What I can gather is that it wants a superior version of node, which I can't install.

node is the correct name of the Node.js executable. This isn't wrong.

This seems to be a problem with configstore. See https://github.com/yeoman/configstore/issues/6

This is just a warning from npm. It may break the installation at some point in the future, but the reason why it fails now is the issue I mentioned above, not this one.

Thanks I'll look into second and third point, as for the first point; in debian node isnt the name of Node.js executable. It is wrong. See it here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21168141/cannot-install-packages-using-node-package-manager-in-ubuntu

@hiperbolt On Debian/Ubuntu-based distros, the package is called nodejs, but the executable is called node.

looks like a permissions error, try using sudo su
