Apparently now Elixir requires node.js >=5.0.0

We can get node.js from the download page. When selecting a package to download, it's important to note that Phoenix requires version 5.0.0 or greater.

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_5.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
rm node_modules -r
npm install .

Fixed the problem
