Comment 7 for bug 777554

I have nearly the same problem in ubuntu 12.10. I installed coffee like this:

sudo sudo apt-get install nodejs npm
sudo npm install -g coffee-script

But unlike the other people here reported for the 11.04 release, my result in 12.10 is exactly the other way: coffee tries to access 'node' (instead of 'nodejs' in 11.04), but in my filesystem there is only a nodejs (instead of 'node' in 11.04).

I get:

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

So my workaround in 12.10 is exactly the other way (as suggested for 11.04):

$ cd ~/bin; ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs node
