I'm building an image from a Dockerfile and the part where I npm install the dependencies is erroring when I build the image, but I can run the commands outside of it. I don't know exactly where this error is coming from.
I'm using boot2docker on Windows and my Dockerfile is:
FROM ubuntu:15.04
RUN apt-get -y update
RUN apt-get -y install nodejs
RUN apt-get -y install npm
COPY /server /src
COPY /server/package.json /tmp/package.json
RUN cd /tmp && npm install
(etc)
The error message is:
sh:1 node: not found
npm WARN: This failure might be due to the use of legacy binary "node"
npm WARN: For further explanations, please read

Although it says it's probably a problem with Sails, I have no problem installing it on my machine. I can't install it when I run the image (obviously), and when I try to just run the ubuntu:15.04 image and install npm and Sails there, it tells me that npm is a command not found.
I'm still new to Docker (and to Windows-- I can't even find the npm-debug.log) so any type of advice helps a lot.
Thank you!

The easiest way to fix the issue is to pass an additional parameter –legacy-peer-deps to npm install. The --legacy-peer-deps tells the npm to ignore the peer dependencies and continue the installation of the package. Try the below command to install the dependencies for your project.
Docker is used to create, run and deploy applications in containers. A Docker image contains application code, libraries, tools, dependencies and other files needed to make an application run.
to install the dependencies automatically , first of all list them manually in package. json file and run the npm install (sometimes sudo npm install ) command. Possible duplicate of Is it possible to automatically install the required modules for a node.
npm install installs dependencies into the node_modules/ directory, for the node project you're working on. You can call install on another node. js project (module), to install it as a dependency for your project. npm run build does nothing unless you specify what "build" does in your package.
It's a problem of nodejs installation which was covered here: what are the differences between node.js and node?
Breifly, there are three options to fix this: creating symlink yourself, using nvm, or installing nodejs-legacy instead of nodejs:
RUN apt-get -y install nodejs-legacy
