I've tried installing Node.js using the following instructions:
cd /opt
wget http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.26/node-v0.10.26.tar.gz
cd node-v0.10.26
./configure
make
make install
However, once the installation has completed (and with no errors at that), I'm unable to run node --version
. I'm currently running on Ubuntu 13.10 x64 and have tried multiple ways to install Node.js that all result in the same issue. Could it be a PATH issue, or something else? I'm new to Node.js, and would love to learn any tips or tricks that you may have to get this up and running.
Thanks in advance!
make install
copy the installation files?/opt
seems unlikely unless you passed--prefix=/opt/node-v0.10.26
. Also,/opt/
probably isn't on your$PATH
. Tryecho $PATH
to find out to find out all the directories on your$PATH
. Also, you forgot to mention the issue you get onnode --version
.
