Question

npm install -g @angular/cli

trying to install angular-cli in ubuntu 16.10 and I face the following error on sass.

/home/user1/.npm-packages/bin/ng -> /home/user1/.npm-packages/lib/node_modules/@angular/cli/bin/ng

> [email protected] install /home/user1/.npm-packages/lib/node_modules/@angular/cli/node_modules/node-sass
> node scripts/install.js

sh: 1: node: not found
/home/user1/.npm-packages/lib

Turns out sass still expects node in /usr/bin/

Creating a link, by doing the following resolved the issue

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node
