Fixing '/usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory' Error on Ubuntu
🐛 Fixing /usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory Error on Ubuntu
After installing Node.js and npm on Ubuntu, you might encounter the following error when running global npm packages (like stylus):
/usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory
This happens because, on some Ubuntu versions, the Node.js binary is installed as nodejs instead of node.
🔧 The Fix
Create a symbolic link named node pointing to nodejs:
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node
This command tells the system to use nodejs whenever a program calls node.
✅ After that
Try running your command again, and it should work without the error.
Happy coding! 👋
