Serverless fails to install on Ubuntu 17.04

Hi,

I’ve tried to install Serverless framework on “new, fresh” installment of Ubuntu 17.04.

I’ve installed NodeJS using Ubuntu official repository. Version that I was offered is NodeJS v4.7.2. After that following instructions, I’ve installed npm, again same from official Ubuntu official repository. Version installed v3.5.2.

Finally, when I started to install Serverless Framework, I’ve got the following error:

astoisavljevic@aleksandar-virtualbox:~$ sudo npm install -g serverless /usr/local/bin/serverless -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/serverless/bin/serverless /usr/local/bin/slss -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/serverless/bin/serverless /usr/local/bin/sls -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/serverless/bin/serverless

As requested, I’m attaching npm-debug.log file to this ticket.

Thank You

Is there any reason why you need to execute node in a root context via sudo? Is the node executable accessible in your user context too? Just try which nodejs. Additionally the executable should at least be available under the name “node” and not only “nodejs”.

Having a similar issue with $ node --version v6.12.3

I’m gonna try installing nvm and switching node version
