Re: Error found searching for command node.

[Aaron Bartell <aaronbartell@xxxxxxxxx>]

I just saw Kevin's answer come in after I had typed mine, so the following
will be for scenarios where you'd need to manually set things up (which has
been my case in situations where I have perzl+PowerRuby+5733OPS all
conflicting).

Need to create two symbolic links, one for 'node' and another for 'npm'.  I
am fairly certain v0.12.13 had symlinks a little wonky and I'd highly
recommend you get to v4 or v6 (both are now available in 5733OPS).  Here's
how you'd set the symlinks for v4.

ln -s /QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/OPS/Node4/bin/node /QOpenSys/usr/bin
ln -s /QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/OPS/Node4/bin/npm /QOpenSys/usr/bin
