I have installed up to date version of node using:

curl -s -O
sudo apt-get install rlwrap
sudo dpkg -i nodejs_5.7.1-1nodesource1~trusty1_amd64.deb

There after I installed yo using

 npm install -g yo

But when I try it out, I get an error that says:

zsh: command not found

With echo $PATH,

/usr/local/heroku/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games

How can I get this working ? I am very new to Ubuntu and pretty clueless about it.

I solved the

zsh: command not found

issue for the npm libraries by setting the path in ~/.zshrc

Setting the following path in ~/.zshrc solved my issue

echo 'export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.zshrc

This script works for me. You have to add it at the end of ~/.zshrc.

if [ -d "$HOME/.nvm" ]; then # export NVM_DIR="$([ -z "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME-}" ] && printf %s "${HOME}/.nvm" || printf %s "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/nvm")" export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm" # This loads nvm [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm bash_completion [ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion"
fi

zsh is a alernative to your bash shell.

You installed yeoman for node. ()

To install zsh you can do so like this:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install zsh

and then type zsh to get started with zsh.

If you like zsh you should look into oh-my-zsh for some nice terminal themes and plugins.
