I have searched the group for answers to my question, but didn't find any relevant ones. So I have to 'bother' you with this problem.
The system (apt) has installed nodejs and npm in '/usr/share. ' Npm install -g elm has installed Elm like this: 'usr/share/lib/node_modules/elm/Elm-Platform/0.17.1/.cabal-sandbox/bin/' ->elm, elm-make, -package, -reactor, -repl (runnables). Under the 'usr/share/lib/node_modules/elm/binwrappers/' there are text-files with the same name as the runnables. Under 'usr/share/lib/node_modules/elm/node_modules/' are lots of files (yes, there are 2 'node_modules' directories in the same hierarchy). The 'usr' and the 'lib' directories are owned by root, but the rest down the hierarchy are owned by me, the user. Issuing commands at the prompt: npm --version -> 3.5.2, node --version -> v4.2.6 But issuing elm-commands (elm-make --version) at the user-prompt only produces 'no such file or directory' When I CD to usr/share/lib/node_modules/elm/Elm-Platform/0.17.1/.cabal-sandbox/bin $ and isssue 'elm-make' or elm-repl,' I still get 'no such file or directory.' When I issue the 'ls' command, the elm, elm-make, -package, -reactor, -repl are listed in green colour, as if they were directories. I have asked the author in the book-forum, but of course there are many variations of this problem, and mine may be relevant only to Mint 18-users (and Ubuntu users).
