tar.gz install issue

[mykolapolonskyi]

• Version: node v6.3.1 npm 3.10.3
• Platform: Linux Mint 4.2.0-18-generic Adding Governance, Contribution Policy, and CoC #22~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Nov 6 22:20:11 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

After unpack of tar.gz binaries tried to call npm -g install to get dependencies of my package.json but got

/usr/bin/env: node: no such file or directory

And when I replace path inside npm-cli.js

!/usr/bin/env node

with path of downloaded node

!#//environment/nodes/node-v6.3.1-linux-x64/bin/node

all start work!

I'm not sure that I do right with reporting that issue(maybe its fixed already) - but I spent few hours to fix it(google was useless). Maybe will be useful to update explanation of tar.gz installation.

@GLHF, npm expects node to be present in your PATH. You should either:

• manually add the path where you placed the node and npm binaries to your PATH,
• extract them to some directory that is already in PATH,
• or use something like nvm that does those things for you.
