You're right, elm is not in the path.
I used to know how to set the $path in old Windows, but not in Linux Mint. 
1) Could you please give me a brief instruction?
2) There is a 'profile' file in the /etc-directory. Should I modyfy that 
one also, with the path to elm?
3) Do I have to set the path all the way down to the bin-directory, like 
this:
'usr/share/lib/node_modules/elm/Elm-Platform/0.17.1/.cabal-sandbox/bin/'   
???

Very grateful for your attention!
