I have this bug too.

npm-debug.log says that it happens because of unusual name of the node executable file on some platforms: nodejs, node.exe, etc.

My case: Debian, nodejs.

The error is happened because this project executes node directly (see https://github.com/Medium/phantomjs/blob/master/package.json#L38).

please read the FAQ https://github.com/Medium/phantomjs#im-on-debian-or-ubuntu-and-the-installer-failed-because-it-couldnt-find-node

@nicks, this is good, but what about Windows? This issue is about it.

I am on Ubuntu 16.04 with nodejs-legacy installed (node -v returns 'v4.2.6' same as nodejs -v), and I am still getting this error.

trip-somers commented 7 years ago

Forcing nodejs v6.9.1 (and npm 3.10.8) fixed my problem. I didn't expect 16.04's official packages to be that far behind.

I think still the issue is not closed. Still now I am getting the following error when I run npm install on the following package.json

This same error is happening on one of our devs machines and in our staging environment, but not on others local machines.

We've been running into this issue with our prod build on the server. Node.js versions are the same both locally and on the server (=6.11.3), however a fresh git pull && npm install somehow fails only in the cloud. We have been able to work around like so: npm install phantomjs-prebuilt@2.1.13 --ignore-scripts

Here is the solution on stackoverflow related to #649
