Hey, I’ve been trying to get Spark CLI running on my Linux Mint 16 machine and haven’t had any luck. I’ve followed the instructions for installing on Ubuntu which works fine with no errors, but I can’t get the command “spark” to actually do anything.
~ $ spark
~ $ spark help
~ $ sudo spark
~ $ spark setup
As you can see, typing the commands doesn’t actually do anything 
Any help is appreciated!
Did you install globally? npm install -g spark-cli
Yes I did, here’s the output of the command in case that’s helpful:
> serialport@1.4.0 install /usr/lib/node_modules/spark-cli/node_modules/serialport
> node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build

Ah, you probably had the not-nodejs node installed.
p node - Amateur Packet Radio Node program (transitional package)
That has troubled me more than I want to admit. 
Glad you got it working.
oh cool, glad you got it going, had me worried for a second
Thanks,
