Can't Install on Ubuntu 16.04.1

@JessicaHergert It looks like nodejs isn't installed on your machine. Try to install it with sudo apt-get install npm. It should say its already installed if its present already, in which case you probably don't have the path to the node command in your PATH, or specifically the root user's PATH since you're running the command as root (sudo).

@snobear As the headline reads, this issue refers to installing on Ubuntu 16.04.1. It also says that node.js is installed at version 4.2.6 in the log I posted, where it reads "npm ERR! node v4.2.6".

nodejs -v
v4.2.6

Right - thats why I suggested sudo apt-get install...apt-get is the package manager for Ubuntu.

Anyhow, looks like its installed. I bet the node command isn't in the root user's path. You could fix that, BUT I would recommend that you do all these commands without sudo, as a general recommendation. You should be able to fire it up the project as a regular user.

@snobear to be clear about the command thing: the command node is already taken in ubuntu 16.04.1 - the command is "nodejs"

also without sudo npm can't really install any of these things at all.

but even if I try to install phantomjs manually beforehand, it still fails.
