Angular JS 2 can't be installed, why?

Question

I have tried setting up Angular 2 to experiment with on my VPS. The needed steps are here:

https://angular.io/docs/js/latest/quickstart.html

The first command is successful:

$ npm install -g tsd@^0.6.0

But the second step causes an error:

tsd install angular2 es6-promise rx rx-lite

"/usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory" is the error I get. I have tried installing this in my project folder as root, but that also didn't had success. Does someone know why I get this error? The command doesn't exist, but why not?

Is there an easier way to install this? I have seen "npm install angular2", but I don't know how that works, that's why I tried the steps

You may need to make a symbolic link to node:

ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node

Alternatively: `apt-get install nodejs-legacy`. Debian is a bit snooty about two packages providing the same binary. – anthony sottile Oct 10 '15 at 22:59
Thank you very much, this has helped me a lot! – user3493168 Oct 11 '15 at 14:45
Also, @user3493168 , I think it would be even better if you used [nvm](http://nvm.sh) to manage your node versions. – Zlatko Oct 12 '15 at 06:10
