Parcel command not found when I run npm build

Question

I am trying to create a bundle for openlayers. I have followed the tutorial https://openlayers.org/en/latest/doc/tutorials/bundle.html When I get to npm run build I get the following error.

[email protected] build /accounts/linuxuser/web_projects/openmap
parcel build --public-url . index.html
sh: parcel: command not found

When I ls the node_modules folder I get. parcel -> ../parcel-bundler/bin/cli.js. When I cd to the node_modules folder the parcel-bundler folder is not found. When I run npm install --save-dev parcel-bundler I get the following.

  [email protected] install /accounts/linuxuser/web_projects/openmap/node_modules/deasync
  node ./build.js
  sh: node: command not found
  [email protected] /accounts/linuxuser/web_projects/openmap

I do have npm install.

npm --version
3.5.2

Error after running npm install --save-dev parcel-bundler

 [email protected] install /accounts/linuxuser/web_projects/openmap/node_modules/deasync
 node ./build.js

"npm install --save parcel-bundler" - remove that dev from your command and run it and after that run "npm run build" — GRS

did you install node first ?please print the ouput of "node -v" here — GRS

I used the npm install --save parcel-bundler command and received the same result. Yes I have node installed nodejs -v outputs v4.2.6 I have to use nodejs because I am using ubuntu — newdeveloper

so in your package.json -> inside scripts -> build -> instead of node use nodejs — GRS

Here is the build line. "build": "parcel build --public-url . index.html" — newdeveloper
