The path for nodejs and npm is different

I am using Ubuntu 14.04LTS

I have nodejs (default package) at path / usr / bin / nodejs

I have npm on the path / usr / local / bin / npm

When I run npm -v it says

bash: /usr/local/bin/npm: /usr/local/bin/node: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

      

        
        
        
      

    

I tried to install npm using the following command:

$ sudo curl -L https://npmjs.org/install.sh | w

Maybe node is installed but not in PATH? Note that sudo can change envs.

What can be done to run npm here?
