I'm building an image from a Dockerfile and the part where I npm install the dependencies is erroring when I build the image, but I can run the commands outside of it. I don't know exactly where this error is coming from.
I'm using boot2docker on Windows and my Dockerfile is:
FROM ubuntu:15.04
RUN apt-get -y update
RUN apt-get -y install nodejs
RUN apt-get -y install npm
COPY /server /src
COPY /server/package.json /tmp/package.json
RUN cd /tmp && npm install
(etc)
The error message is:
sh:1 node: not found
npm WARN: This failure might be due to the use of legacy binary "node"
npm WARN: For further explanations, please read

Although it says it's probably a problem with Sails, I have no problem installing it on my machine. I can't install it when I run the image (obviously), and when I try to just run the ubuntu:15.04 image and install npm and Sails there, it tells me that npm is a command not found
.
I'm still new to Docker (and to Windows-- I can't even find the npm-debug.log) so any type of advice helps a lot.
Thank you!
