Answer 1

You have to call "nodejs" and not "node". To verify this, type node -v on the shell: if nothing is found try nodejs -v. If that displays a version number, then the command you should be using is nodejs and not node. Therefore, you have to change the call to browserify in your script from node to nodejs (as shown below): replace

#!/usr/bin/env node

with

#!/usr/bin/env nodejs

You might also have to open the script as the superuser.
