From https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-node-js-on-an-ubuntu-14-04-server

Because of a conflict with another package, the executable from the Ubuntu repositories is called nodejs instead of node. Keep this in mind as you are running software.

See also http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18130164/nodejs-vs-node-on-ubuntu-12-04

So, what you need to do is sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node and it should work
