I installed as described here and other places, but after using npm to install jslint, jshint, neither will work. Running "jslint", I only get:

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

Is there something wrong with the Ubuntu 13.10 repo, or do I have to set up some PATH variable myself?

Due to a conflict with an older "node" package, nodejs gets installed as nodejs instead of node, the latter being what jshint is looking for.

Try this:

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

For more information, see:

node.js conflicts (the node --purge solution didn't work for me on 13.04, hence the symlink above)

Issue reported on jshint's Github "Most likely the Node binary is not in your PATH."
