Which operating system are you trying to run this process on? — Nishant Ghodke
Can't you just install node using your os package manager like apt-get, yum? Please share the console log if you want us to further troubleshoot the problem. — Manish R

You need to symlink the nodejs executable to node

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

Hope this helps!
