Trouble installing on Ubuntu 13.0 #2

I've been having difficulty installing the system on Ubuntu 13.0. The problems seem to start about the step where Node is setup. I SUSPECT the problem is related to the differences in the name of 'node' on Ubuntu versus other distributions of Linux

https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Installing-Node.js-via-package-manager

Ubuntu calls the program 'nodejs' to avoid conflicting with an existing program that is already named 'node'. I'm suspecting that this breaks all the setup scripts for Ripple.

It may not be worth it to try to change Ripple so that it works on Ubuntu. What would help is if we knew what specific distributions of Linux the program has been tested on. Version numbers of the distributions would also be helpful.

A solution that might greatly increase adoption is to create a pre-configured Ripple AMI on Amazon's EC2 service. It's the same idea as the virtual machine that is available for testing. However, this would be an image that is ready for production and would only take a few minutes for a school to setup.

Ripple has been developed on RHEL/CentOS platform. You can modify the start script in the bin/run-cli.js under RUN.start. Hope this helps,
