Description

I'm using Ubuntu Linux 14.04.1 (x86_64).

I've tried to follow the Ubuntu Linux installation instructions on https://keybase.io/docs/command_line/prerequisites. The installation works well, but when trying to perform the actual keybase installation using npm install, I get: zsh: command not found: npm. This is because npm is in a separate package - adding it with apt-get install npm gets me over this hump.

The Ubuntu installation instructions should probably be updated, to install npm as well:

apt-get install nodejs-legacy npm
