Ubuntu 15.04 how to install and configure node js?

Question

Node.js

Hello!
In general, I rearranged ubuntu 15.04, opened the template on GULP + BOWER, realized that I needed to install node js, launched the installation from the repository, everything went fine. Launched PHPStorm made from the npm i console, everything was installed.
Then I launched bower i, and got an error that the command was not found, installed bower globally, the same error. Thought to check node js version.
node -v
The command is executed but no response or hello.
Stupidly copying the node from the site and specifying PHPStrom where the node is located solves the problem with launching GULP, but it does not help with launching BOWER.

Answer 1

There seems to be troubles with the "node" package, but if you don't find it, you need to install "nodejs", there is /usr/(s)bin/node, then you need to make a sim link to this path, literally yesterday you suffered, you also need to run everything under root . I'm really steamed under debian

Answer 3

Install a node from nvm and remove the bower from there, and you will be happy.

Answer 4

To begin with, I advise you to install a stable version of ubuntu (trusty), after which:

wget -qO- https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource.gpg.key | apt-key add -
echo 'deb https://deb.nodesource.com/node_5.x  trusty main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list
echo 'deb-src https://deb.nodesource.com/node_5.x trusty main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list
apt-get update
apt-get install -y build-essential nodejs
