Hi, I'm trying to learn JavaScript fast.

I had some trouble today trying to get Tern, JSLint and JSHint setup.

With some help on an IRC, we discovered I installed a node utility which was 
not related to nodejs.

This is like a bug, as, if I install nodejs, and try to execute 'node', it 
tells me it is missing, and to install blah (assume I didn't read it carefully).

So I install node utility. And things don't work. I can execute nodejs command. 
But those apps Tern etc. won't work.

The solution is to remove node package, and install nodejs-legacy.

Should the maintainers of these projects be made aware of this issue? Does 
legacy mean the node command is being phased out? I believe their packages look 
for node command. 

Maybe the majority of users are on OS X, and so this troubleshooting issue in't 
included in documentation, blogs etc.
