Browsersync on Linux

I did install Browsersync on Ubuntu using command line:

npm install -g browser-sync

Now, I went to check for version:

browser-sync --version

where I get error message:

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

What should I do now?

I got it fixed installing nodejs-legacy:

sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy

Then checked back to be worked:

ihab@ihab-pc:~$ node --version
The program 'node' can be found in the following packages:
 * node
 * nodejs-legacy
Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>
ihab@ihab-pc:~$ sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy
