Problem solved! I added the path to /etc/profile.
For other Mint 18 users with same problem:
1) Install nodejs (*sudo apt install nodejs*) Note: it may be installed
already, most probably.
2) install npm (*sudo apt install npm*)
3install elm (*npm install -g elm*)
4) Edit the PATH, I appended this sentence to the /etc/profile-file:
With Mint 18 xfce-edition: *sudo xed /etc/profile*, then add at the
end: (in my case) :
export
PATH="$PATH:/usr/share/lib/node_modules/elm/Elm-Platform/0.17.1/.cabal-sandbox/bin/"
(Other Linux-versions may use gedit or other text editor instead of xed)
*Thanks to Joey Eremondi!*
