Installing NW.js - node.js

I'm having some trouble installing NW.js. When I run npm install nw, I get these error messages:

> node scripts/install.js
sh: 1: node: not found
npm WARN This failure might be due to the use of legacy binary "node"

I'm pretty sure the problem has to do with the first section where it talks about node being installed. I know there's an issue with Debian where the node package is actually already taken, so they use nodejs instead. I don't know enough this to fix it, I've already tried running export node=nodejs and adding it to the ~/.bashrc. Does anyone have any ideas about what I can do? I've had this problem with other npm packages as well.

The nodejs executable is called node, not nodejs. So, just remove the line you added. (export node=nodejs)
If it still won't work: Try reinstall node via package management (apt-get/yum/dnf) or Try reinstall the executable and setup PATH from website (https://nodejs.org/en/download/).

Trying to install npm on Raspberry Pi Error

I am working on a simple smart mirror project with javascript and electron. I was able to get the software working on my laptop but when I moved it to the raspberry pi I am having issues installing npm. After entering "npm install" I get this:

I have tried

Any ideas what to do? Thanks!
EDIT:
I updated the node.js to a more current version and now it installed without error. However, when I typed in the command
npm start
I get this:

Have you seen this issue? Electron works only on RaspberryPi 2/3 what version are you using?
Also have you run npm install before actually run the app? Sometimes when copying node_modules from OS to OS the executable permissions get very confused.
You can try a fresh install with: rm -rf node_modules && npm install

Install nvm and use it to ensure you have a clean, up to date working Node setup. Try installing Node 7.something with nvm instead of 4.

electron install error : Failed at the electron#1.4.6 postinstall script 'node install.js'

I'm trying to install electron recent version and encountering this error. I tried installing sudo and did downgrade to electron 1.4.5 but this error persists. node version I'm using is v7.1.0

It turned out to be a problem with the node version I'm using. Possibly electron is not compatible with the newer version of node that is released.
I've installed nvm and installed a lower version of node. In my case v6.3.0. After that I was able to install electron without errors.
had the same issue, also when using sudo.
when i switched to root, the installation worked.

npm err code eisdir errno -4068 whenever installing any package

I followed this guide to install node to my machine without having admin rights.
I put node.exe, (npm.cmd and node_modules ) both from the npm zip in C:\Users\rakibler\Node. I added that to my path. I ran npm install -g bower and got
npm ERR! Error: EISDIR, open 'C:\Users\rakibler\Node\bower'

at the end. It also seems like something else is wrong, because everything it downloads goes to C:\Users\rakibler\Node instead of C:\Users\rakibler\Node\node_modules. Not sure what's going wrong here. Any idea?
i think you need to install the npm globlally using
"npm install -g npm"
and then use it in directory to install bower . i hope this will solve your issue

Problems installing Ghost Blog - digital ocean

Keep getting multiple errors for installing and running npm with ghost. I thought it may have been sqlite, but that seems to have been already installed.

It seems to be a problem with your ghost package. So to test it, please start with ghost from scratch:
cd ../
mkdir ghosttest
cd ghosttest
wget https://ghost.org/zip/ghost-0.6.4.zip
unzip ghost-0.6.4.zip
npm install --production
npm start
If it does not work, try updating node.js and npm to the latest stable version.
