Problem

I'm trying to install Bower on XUbuntu 13.10, following the instructions on the Bower home page, after doing `sudo apt-get install npm` and `sudo npm install -g bower` I get the following after issuing `bower` on the command line: ``` /usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory ``` I then install Node (even though I assume that would not be unnecessary since Bower's only dependency would be NPM, correct?). Anyhow, after I install node with `sudo apt-get install node` any of the Bower commands, such as `bower help`, simply don't do anything, i.e. output nothing. How to install Bower on Ubuntu (preferably without manually downloading various versions of things)?
