install fails because missing legacy binary "node"

[tonokip]

workaround1:

sudo ln -s `which nodejs` /usr/local/bin/node

workaround2:

sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy

error:

~$ sudo npm install -g tinyg

where in package.json

"scripts": {
"test": "echo "Error: no test specified" && exit 1",
"start": "node index.js",
"dev": "nodemon index.js"
},

SOLUTION:

workaround2 works great. thx

this solved it for me.
I used workaround 2 and installed npm modules with the option npm install --no-bin-links, this option is needed because the node_modules folder is in a vagrant shared folder.
