Grunt installed on Ubuntu but not working
I installed Grunt by running the following commands in a terminal:
sudo apt-get install nodejs
sudo apt-get install npm
npm install -g grunt-cli
Below is the terminal output after executing npm install -g grunt-cli
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/grunt-cli

Grunt needs to be installed globally, but when I try grunt --version
on the terminal it displays as shown below:
/usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory
I tried adding /usr/local/lib/node_modules/grunt-cli/bin
to ~ / .bashrc but it doesn't help.
Even I tried to execute the command grunt
by going to /usr/local/lib/node_modules/grunt-cli/bin
but not hoping.
Please help me.

/usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory
tells you everything. When you do apt-get install nodejs
, I suppose he places nodejs
, but not node
yours /usr/local/bin
. So just link to it like
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/nodejs /usr/local/bin/node
and it should work.
edit : it will
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node
for your case.
