Just when you are finished installing nodejs in your fresh shiny Ubuntu box and issue your first cordova create app command you get this annoying /usr/bin/env:node: No Such file or directory Which looks like this And you think what went wrong. Apparently this stupid error is because you decided to do sudo apt-get install nodejs In short Ubuntu's default code repository renames node as nodejs to avoid some weird conflict. And you just got caught in between. Fortunately a one line symlink is enough to fix it for us. So just issue the following and you rare good to go sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node
This is my mindless rambling.
