I'm trying to install a service with forever-service with the command:

sudo forever-service install webserver --script server.js -e "PORT=80"

but getting the following error:

forever-service version 0.5.9

Platform - Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS
foreverpath not found

    throw new TypeError('Path must be a string. Received ' + inspect(path));

Nodejs version is 8.0 Any ideas how to fix that?

For me what fixed the issue was installing forever as sudo.
