Check for /usr/bin/nodejs for Debian/Ubuntu based systems #92
Comments
same on linux mint. this worked: nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#3911 |
Also happens in Ubuntu 14.04 |
Looks like some progress has been made on this: See: https://github.com/keybase/node-installer/blob/master/bin/main.sh. I don't see it fully implemented yet. |
I gave up on it when I realized that none of the other node programs workaround it, and any fix is likely to be brittle. Does it work to |
we now have clearer documentation on this. |
Same problem, in ubuntu 14.04 |
After each upgrade I do
an replace node with nodejs |
We've stopped making releases of the old nodejs client, there's a new Go one to replace it. |
Ah... I see... I run keybase and it asked me to run keybase-installer to update to latest version... it did not mention anything about Go :) maybe keybase-installer should also be updated to emit a warning that nodejs client is obsolete and that people should go for go :) So basically this should be closes as won't fix. Right? Thanks! |
I tried installing keybase, but it failed on Ubuntu with this error:
Turns out that Debian based systems install node as /usr/bin/nodejs and not /usr/bin/node (because of an already existing package called node). I suggest checking for /usr/bin/nodejs in addition to 'node'. If that is not possible, putting a note on website that debian-based linux systems should install package
nodejs-legacy
also works (this package creates a symlink/usr/bin/node
to/usr/bin/nodejs
