From our discussion here

After installing node.js and npm

Create a symbolic link for node:

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

Now verify commands working with

node -v

npm -v

Run it by using,

node hello.js

In order to test the application, open another terminal session and connect to your web server. Be sure to substitute in the app server's private IP address for APP_PRIVATE_IP_ADDRESS, and the port if you changed it:

curl http://APP_PRIVATE_IP_ADDRESS:8080
