How to install Meteor-Up (mup) correctly?

Question

I am trying to install Meteor-Up (mup) to deploy an application from my Ubuntu 14.04 laptop to an Ubuntu 14.04 server, but it does not seem to install correctly. How to install mup?

I know that I need npm to install mup. So, I have successfully installed npm with:

$ sudo apt-get install npm 

Then I try to install mup with:

 $ sudo npm install -g mup 

Install log:

 npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/mup npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/mup npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/nodemiral npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/cjson npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/colors npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/uuid npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/rimraf npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/underscore/1.7.0 npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/colors npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/uuid npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/rimraf npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/nodemiral npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/cjson npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/underscore/1.7.0 npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/jsonlint/1.6.0 npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/ejs npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/debug npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/handlebars npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/ejs npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/handlebars npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/debug npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/jsonlint/1.6.0 npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/nomnom npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/JSV npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/optimist npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/uglify-js npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/nomnom npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/JSV npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/optimist npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/uglify-js npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/underscore npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/chalk npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/wordwrap npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/async npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/source-map npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/chalk npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/underscore npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/has-color npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/ansi-styles npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/strip-ansi npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/wordwrap npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/strip-ansi npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/async npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/source-map npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/ansi-styles npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/has-color npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/amdefine npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/amdefine /usr/local/bin/mup -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/mup/bin/mup mup@0.7.7 /usr/local/lib/node_modules/mup ├── rimraf@2.2.8 ├── colors@0.6.2 ├── underscore@1.7.0 ├── uuid@1.4.2 ├── cjson@0.3.0 ( jsonlint@1.6.0 ) └── nodemiral@0.3.11 ( debug@0.7.4 , ejs@0.8.8 , handlebars@1.0.12 ) 

After that, when I try to use $ mup command or $ mup -help (to make sure it is installed correctly), I get the following message:

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

I skipped part of the installation process, as it seems that mup is a command? I would like to know how to fix this problem, and explaining the problem will be a bonus. Thanks for any help!

Answer 1

Node.js was not installed correctly, double check if you installed node correctly by following these instructions.

Linux
Other operating systems

Node is not correctly connected, the use of this command should fix this. But the best solution is to reinstall Node.js from these links.

 $ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node 

Now it recognizes the $ mup and $ mup -help .

Answer 2

I think you need to install nodejs through this: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/installing-node.js-via-package-manager#debian-and-ubuntu-based-linux-distributions

This will fix the node problem.
