How do I install UglifyCSS?

  • 772

I have uglifyjs, it works great. I want to get uglifycss going, but I'm running into problems.

I don't remember how I installed uglifyjs, but uglifycss wants to use npm.

So I installed npm:

apt-get install npm

Then installed uglifycss:

npm install uglifycss -g

And now you're supposed to be able to invoke it with:

uglifycss [options] [filename] [...] > output

But I get the error:

/usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory

The command which uglifycss produces:

/usr/local/bin/uglifycss

Invoking it with the full path:

/usr/local/bin/uglifycss

Produces the same error:

/usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory

So something isn't quite configured right, but I must have node.js installed and working because uglifyjs depends on it and that one works. What am I missing here?

    It seems that you need to create an alias with:

    sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node

    for uglifycss to work.
