node-gyp rebuild error while installing node modules - node.js

Question

I tried installing zerorpc package on node using 'npm install zerorpc' and I am getting following error. The error is because node-gyp fails to rebuild.

Then I tried to update the version using
sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable
sudo ln -sf /usr/local/n/versions/node/<VERSION>/bin/node /usr/bin/node
given by https://askubuntu.com/questions/426750/how-can-i-update-my-nodejs-to-the-latest-version but I am getting 'bash: /usr/bin/node: No such file or directory' error

Answer 1

I upgraded it to 4.3.0 version using
sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n 4.3.0
and then I used
sudo npm install zerorpc
and it worked!
As for the bash: '/usr/bin/node: No such file or directory' error, I did
sudo apt-get install node-legacy
