Forver will not install properly on Ubuntu 12.04 Server.

See original GitHub issue

The official documentation states that for installation we have to

$ [sudo] npm install forever -g

I tried this on my Ubuntu 12.04 VPS via PUTTY, first I got an error like https://github.com/nodejitsu/forever/issues/282

Even after

sudo apt-get install build-essential

it didn’t work.

By changing the npm installation to

$ [sudo] npm install -g forever

It worked! Just wanted to share. Incase this is valid for other Linux distros as well request to change the official doc as well.
