I would like to install chrome autosave plugin on ubuntu. when I try to install it with these steps https://github.com/NV/chrome-devtools-autosave-server , I got some errors...
there was not installed node and npm out of box on ubuntu 12.10. So I installed npm and node with these commands.
sudo apt-get install npm
sudo apt-get install node
and I tried to install autosave
here is the output:
sudo npm install -g autosave
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/autosave
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/autosave
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/commander
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/commander
/usr/local/bin/autosave -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/autosave/bin/autosave

[email protected] install /usr/local/lib/node_modules/autosave
> node ./scripts/install.js

and here is README.debian
nodejs for Debian
=================
packaged modules
----------------
The global search path for modules is
/usr/lib/nodejs
Future packages of node modules will use that
directory,
so it should be used wisely.
user modules
------------
Node looks for modules in ./node_modules
directory first;
please read node#modules documentation carefully for more information.
Node does not look for modules in /usr/local/lib/node_modules,
where npm put them.
Please read npm-link(1) of npm package, to understand how to properly
use npm-installed modules in a project.
Note that require.paths is not supported in future node versions.
See also node(1) for more information about NODE_PATH.
nodejs command
--------------
The upstream name for the Node.js interpreter command is "node".
In Debian the interpreter command has been changed to "nodejs".
This was done to prevent a namespace collision: other commands use
the same name in their upstreams, such as ax25-node from the "node"
package.
Scripts calling Node.js as a shell command must be changed to instead
use the "nodejs" command.
