On EC2: sudo node command not found, but node without sudo is ok
Yes, it is a bit annoying but you can fix it with some links:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/node /usr/bin/nodesudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/node /usr/lib/nodesudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/npm /usr/bin/npmsudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/node-waf /usr/bin/node-wafThere might be more but that is all I have run across so far. Lack of node-waf will cause some npm installs to fail with a rather cryptic error message.
I added /usr/local/bin to secure_path in /etc/sudoers
$ sudo visudoThen change this line:
Defaults secure_path = /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/binTo:
Defaults secure_path = /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
it happens because the node executable is not found in /usr/bin. So follow the steps:
- find node:
whereis node
in my case: node: /home/<my_user>/.nvm/versions/node/v8.9.4/bin/node
make a symbolic link for node:
sudo ln -s /home/<my_user>/.nvm/versions/node/v8.9.4/bin/node /usr/bin/node
It's done!
