I've ran into some problem with installing cordova and phonegap.
When i try to run sudo npm install -g cordova (same with phonegap). I got this result (for cordova)
/home/tomek/npm/bin/cordova -> /home/tomek/npm/lib/node_modules/cordova/bin/cordova
cordova#3.5.0-0.2.7 /home/tomek/npm/lib/node_modules/cordova

But when I later try to run cordova command it simply doesn't find this command.
What do I do wrong, and why it doesn't work?
You may have your nodes confused, try the following in terminal:
$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/local/bin/node
This install guide may help you: http://software-issues.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/v-behaviorurldefaultvmlo.html, with your distro being ubuntu based you should have no problem following this. (Beware I forgot to sudo the npm command in the guide, must get around to editing that).

I'm working on a OSX 10.10.4, I have worked with node.js and express before on this computer.
But now when I want to start a new application, the computer won't recognize the command express anymore.
I've tried installing it with all these commands:
- npm install express
- npm install -g express
- npm install express -g
- sudo npm install -g express
- sudo npm install express -g
- npm install express-generator
- npm install -g express-generator
- npm install express-generator -g
- sudo npm install -g express-generator
- sudo install express-generator -g
- sudo npm install -g express-generator#3
- sudo npm install -g express-generator#4
But it still doesn't recognize the command express
This is the output when I install without the -g
npm install express

I have tried some other stuff like the PATH and nodejs-legacy, but none of them work.
With the sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy the computer doesn't find the command apt-get.
The reason I got express:command not found after I installed was because my $PATH didn't know where express was.
To anyone wanting to install the express command line tools I did this
sudo npm install express-generator -g
which resulted in
/usr/local/share/npm/bin/express -> /usr/local/share/npm/lib/node_modules/express-generator/bin/express

└── mkdirp#0.5.1 (minimist#0.0.8)
when I tried express --version I got a command not found
Open your bash_profile from terminal with open ~/.bash_profile
After that add the path you got after you installed express, in my case it was
/usr/local/share/npm/lib/node_modules/express-generator/bin/express
Add this to your bash_profile
export PATH=/usr/local/share/npm/lib/node_modules/express-generator/bin:$PATH
Save the file and go back to terminal. Enter hash -r and then quit terminal and start it again.
Now if you try express --version for example you should see that the command line tools are working.
There's kind of a mishmash of problems you're describing here, so I'll try to address them one at a time.
Express is a popular framework for node.js. The typical way to add it to your project is to do npm install --save express and then it will save it into your package.json file and install it into node_modules. Adding -g to that command would attempt to install it globally, but that's not how express is used. Express is used on a per-project basis. See their website for details.
In the big list of commands you've run, you mention express-generator. Express-generator is a tool that lets you quickly build out some boilerplate to make starting an express project a bit easier. Since express-generator is meant to be run globally and not inside a project, you DO install it with the -g flag. See their website for details on use and installation.
You're trying to install some more node stuff with the apt-get command. That command is used for package management on Linux (typically Ubuntu/Debian) machines. Mac OS X doesn't come with it (and you absolutely don't need it). Any instructions that mention running apt-get are not targeted towards Mac users.
Essentially, I don't think you have a problem, the logs you show are exactly what I'd expect to see. Generate a boilerplate project with express-generator and you should be all set to start working on your express project. Good luck!
I run the following command in my bash and I get the related results:
merianos#merianos-desktop:~$ sudo npm install -g grunt-cli
/usr/local/bin/grunt -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/grunt-cli/bin/grunt

and
merianos#merianos-desktop:~$ grunt
/usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory
I also have try to install bower and gulp but again, when I try to execute them, I get a message related to the grunt above.
Can someone please help me ?
Just to know, I just installed Ubuntu 15.04. I don't know if that helps :)
Ubuntu package nodejs provide a binary as a /usr/bin/nodejs, not a /usr/bin/node, so most of cli tools can't find it. To solve the problem you need to make a symlink:
sudo ln -sT /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node
My node suddenly stopped working so I removed everything and installed node with homebrew.
Now I cant install grunt, nodemon, bower etc.

What can be wrong? How do I debug this?
Try to expend your path (make sure this folder contains the bins):
export PATH=/Users/perstrom/.node/bin:$PATH
Edit: Adding ~/npm/bin to path with PATH=$PATH:~/npm/bin helped, thank you Joachim Isaksson
EDIT:
Seems like i cannot install any packages with npm. After sucessfully installing them, i cannot use them with the assigned commands in the package. "No command '' found".
node -v
v0.11.14
npm -v
2.0.0
At ubuntu machine
It seems like i cannot install the resume-cli module, found here with using npm. Even though it installs without errors, it does not understand the basic commands after installing. Could it be a problem with the warning, showed under?
sudo npm install -g resume-cli
i get

Anyone familiar with this?
Below are the steps to install a given release from source
NOTE - this installs nodejs which gives you both node as well as npm, they come together per release.
to start fresh remove prior node.js and npm installs as well as these :
sudo mv ~/.npmrc ~/.npmrc_ignore
sudo mv ~/.npm ~/.npm_ignore
sudo mv ~/tmp ~/tmp_ignore
sudo mv ~/.npm-init.js ~/.npm-init.js_ignore
to install nodejs and npm as yourself NOT root do these commands (OSX/linux) :
export NODE_PARENT=${HOME}/bin_0_10_32
mkdir ${NODE_PARENT}
download source from : http://nodejs.org/download/
cd node-v0.xxxx
./configure --prefix=${NODE_PARENT}/nodejs
make -j8
make install # IMPORTANT this is NOT using sudo
# not wanted since installing into $USER owned $NODE_PARENT
which puts it into dir defined by above --prefix
export PATH=${NODE_PARENT}/nodejs/bin:$PATH
define environment variable NODE_PATH so node can find dir for modules otherwise
npm install xxx will put newly installed module into current dir :
export NODE_PATH=${NODE_PARENT}/nodejs/lib/node_modules
when you use syntax : npm install -g some_cool_module
the -g for global installs it into dir $NODE_PATH and not your $PWD
nodejs install gives you npm as well :
ls -la ${NODE_PARENT}/nodejs/bin
Subsequent modules you install using global flag -g will automagically put their ~binaries~ into above bin dir ... like browserify
Now put above three export xxx=yyy
commands into your ~/.bashrc or some such so your environment is setup
I am trying to download and run PhoneGap. I have tried on 3 machines (2 mac, 1 windows), and I can't help but feel as though I am doing something wrong.
I have nodeJS (v0.10.13) and NPM (1.3.2) installed to the latest versions, using homebrew.
To install PhoneGap I do the following via commandline:
sudo npm install -g phonegap
NPM goes on it's merry way downloading a ton of packages and installing all without warning or error.
After install I get the following, which I assume is correct:
npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/asn1/-/asn1-0.1.11.tgz
/usr/local/share/npm/bin/phonegap -> /usr/local/share/npm/lib/node_modules/phonegap/bin/phonegap.js

I then restart terminal (completely quit it, cmd+q) and run phonegap, to be greeted with:

I'm at my wits end here. I've installed other stuff through NPM without a problem. My /etc/paths looks like the following:
/usr/bin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin
/usr/local/bin
I have followed the above steps using cordova instead of phonegap, but alas; the same issue.
Any help is hugely appreciated, I just want to cry.
Edit: I'm currently trying this on OSX 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion)
I was some how missing a few paths from my /etc/paths file. Below is that new file:
/usr/bin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin
/usr/local/bin
/usr/local/share
/usr/local/share/npm
/usr/local/share/npm/lib/node_modules/
/usr/local/share/npm/bin
