Ubuntu – alias of nodejs as node on 14.04

aliasbashbashrccommand linenodejs

I installed nodejs with apt-get on 14.04

When I do nodejs -v

v0.10.25

and when i do node -v

node : command not found.

So I want to alias of nodejs to node

I inserted a line in ~/.bashrc

alias node=nodejs

Now I can access nodejs with node in a terminal.

But in my project, i use grunt which fires nodemon via gruntfile.js.
Now nodemon tries to run node instead of nodejs

So again I get the same problem node : command not found.

So the alias doesn't work for non-interactive non-login shells.

Where should I make the alias for this specific purpose and get my problem solved?

Recently fixed this using nodejs-legacy.

Run the following command:

sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy

This should fix it.
