node not found

[CristoAMH]

• Remote OS: Ubuntu 18.04
• code-server --version: v3.3.1

if I execute the code-server script like "./code-server" it works perfectly but after placing it on /usr/local/bin/ it give me this error at the time of run "code-server" on my terminal:
/usr/local/bin/code-server: 20: exec: /usr/local/bin/../lib/node: not found

I have node installed but don't know what to do.

The script uses a relative path to the Node binary that's packaged with code-server so it can't be moved. There are two things you could do:

• Add code-server's bin directory to your path (example: export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/code-server/bin")
• Use a symlink (example: ln -s /path/to/code-server/code-server /usr/local/bin/code-server)

Another option is to install the deb which will handle everything for you.
