/usr/local/bin/node: not found

Question

I kept getting the error above, when I do which node I got the following error:

/usr/bin/node

so in my .bash_profile, I've put in:

export PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH

but still the error doesn't go away

Answer 1

If you can not or do not want to change the program you are running. (you could just change the /usr/local/bin/node to /usr/bin/node in that program), an alternative solution is to create a link from your node installation to the path it is trying to load it from.

Run this as root:

ln -s /usr/bin/node /usr/local/bin/node 

Where the first path parameter is the source, and second path parameter as destination

Answer 2

It is perfectly normal and it is not an error. When you run which, the result will be the location of the program if it is successfully installed.
