Fix for NPM and Node.JS installation on Ubuntu 16.04 #248

Closed frozenfoxx closed 8 years ago

frozenfoxx commented 8 years ago

On Ubuntu 16.04 the system will no longer update the /etc/alternatives/node by default. This results in applications like Yeoman not being able to execute with a sh: 1: node: not found error. Setting the value to true solves the problem. This is a revised pull request (in place of [https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet-nodejs/pull/247}(https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet-nodejs/pull/247) with new modulesync attempt, explicit definition of the legacy debian symlink and nodejs dev package variables.

This problem is also described here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21168141/cannot-install-packages-using-node-package-manager-in-ubuntu. I cannot confirm its behavior on older Ubuntu distributions but reliably on 16.04 npm is actively removed and node's symlink not created, even when using the master from the repo.

Hi @frozenfoxx, thanks for the PR. Can you please rebase against our current master and drop the modulesync commit?

Thanks very much for taking care of this, I was having some real trouble figuring out how to get it to work with the modulesync.

sure sure. When you've issues again just ping us in #voxpupuli on freenode. We normally try to take care of modulesync, so contributors don't have to deal with it.
