Hi,

when trying to install Dillinger I get a pahntomjs error :

npm info install phantomjs@1.9.20

> phantomjs@1.9.20 install /var/www/dillinger/node_modules/phantomjs
> node install.js

sh: 1: node: not found
npm info phantomjs@1.9.20 Failed to exec install script
npm WARN This failure might be due to the use of legacy binary "node"
npm WARN For further explanations, please read

This line npm WARN This failure might be due to the use of legacy binary "node" call me out.

and at the end of /usr/share/doc/nodejs/README.Debian I can read :

nodejs command
--------------

The upstream name for the Node.js interpreter command is "node".
In Debian the interpreter command has been changed to "nodejs".

This was done to prevent a namespace collision: other commands use
the same name in their upstreams, such as ax25-node from the "node"
package.

Scripts calling Node.js as a shell command must be changed to instead
use the "nodejs" command.

Is that the reason ?
