I don't understand why the node command will not work, whereas nodejs works:

$ node --version

zsh: command not found: node

$ nodejs --version

v0.10.15

I tried apt-get install nodejs, but the latest version is already installed.

And furthermore:

$ npm

zsh: command not found: npm

I thought npm was included in NodeJS > 0.10?

The node package is unrelated to NodeJS. See here for information about node Install node :

Amateur Packet Radio Node program (transitional package)

You should instead install the nodejs package.

sudo apt-get install nodejs

then use it with the nodejs command.

The reason node doesn't work is likely because of conflicts with the original node package linked above.

If you want npm , you'll have to install that as well.

sudo apt-get install npm
