node dependency not checked or documented #33

Closed Zyndric closed 8 years ago

Zyndric commented 9 years ago

When using npm install --global elm to install elm on Debian/Ubuntu, the process bails out with message sh: 1: node: not found. This is a known issue and arises because Debian systems rename the node binary to nodejs. The solution is to install the package nodejs-legacy before installation.

However, the solution is not documented in the readme. The solution is also not evident from the error message. Please put up a note in the readme. Something like: on Debian/Ubuntu systems, install the nodejs-legacy package before installation.

Thanks. Looks good.

I think this issue can now be closed, due to the merging of #34.
