nodeclipse: command not found on Linux after install it

Question

I have nodejs and npm installed. I tested npm -v and nodejs -v it worked, showed the current version.

I used the nodeclipse -p command line in my empty folder to create the project structure, but I received the error: command not found

I uninstalled the nodeclipse with npm uninstall and installed again with sudo npm install and did not work.

I used the root account and run the npm install also did not work.

I don´t found the npm or nodejs references to set the environment variable to set the nodeclipse or config it.

Can anyone help please?

Did you install nodeclipse as global module with the -g argument? — Fernando Zamperin
npm install -g nodeclipse did you try this? You have to use sudo on Linux or administrator account on windows — Fernando Zamperin
I Did execution with -g but not yet succeeded. The error occurs: paranhos@pc-principal:~/workspace-javascript/react-sample$ nodeclipse -h /usr/bin/env: “node”: File or directory not found — Marco Paranhos

Problem
There is a bug in nodeclipse plugin that recognizes Node.js as node command the Windows installation.
In Linux the nodeclipse plugin tries to find the command node and can not find. Why on Linux, the nodejs command is utilized for the Node.js installed.

printing error in the terminal

paranhos@pc-principal:~/workspace-javascript/react-sample$ nodeclipse -p
/usr/bin/env: "node": File or directory not found

Solution: Create a Symbolic Link

sudo ln -s "$ (which nodejs)" /usr/bin/node

or

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

Successful result

paranhos @ pc-main: ~ $ node -v 
v4.4.2 
paranhos @ pc-main: ~ $ nodejs -v 
v4.4.2 
paranhos @ pc-main: ~ $ nodeclipse -h
