Command not found when executing node.js n package on sudo

I have found solution which worked for me:

sudo -E env "PATH=$PATH" n stable

Surprisingly, your npm installation has the global prefix in a folder called npm on your home directory, this means that any package installed with the -g flag will install on this folder.

You can change this folder to any folder that is on the sudo safe path following these steps:

---

Graphical way:

1. Open a File Manager (a.k.a Nautilus).
2. Navigate to your home folder.
3. Press Ctrl+H to show hidden files.
4. Open a file called .npmrc with your favorite text editor.

5. Find a line on that file with this content:

   prefix=/home/<your_username>/npm
   

6. Replace /home/<your_username>/npm by a safe path (such as /usr/local/bin).

7. Once replaced it will look like this:

   prefix=/usr/local/bin
   

8. Save the file.
9. Run again sudo npm install n -g

---

Terminal way:

Run this command:

sed -i.bak "s%^prefix=.*$%prefix=/usr/local/bin%" ~/.npmrc

I know this is an Ubuntu forum, but I'm sure this will help someone with the same problem on the RHEL flavours who Googled to here like I did. Perhaps it also works in Ubuntu.

This is the approach:

ln -s /usr/local/bin/n /usr/bin/n
