Hi I wanted to install a npm package called nasim-bot but i got an error and couldn't find a solution for it.

/bin/sh: 1: node: not found

check your npm with this command

sudo npm-check

if an error then re-install npm.

if npm is fine, then there must be some dependencies that would be missing or outdated, mostly outdated cause issues with it.

npm install -g npm-check-updates

ncu -u

npm update

npm-check is not provided out of the box in ubuntu, one needs to install this package globally first
