The gem need the node-binary from nodejs-legacy in order to run.
The error that appears when nodejs-legacy is not installed.

sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacyShould the documentation mention this?
Thanks for reporting but I've never met this issue before. I think it depends on the way you install node (you did it via package manager, right?) and it not related to bower-rails.
The alternative way to fix /usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory error is to create a symlink like ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#3911 (comment)
Yes, it was installed with apt-get. Ok, thanks for your help
Thanks @tkhduracell sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy saved me. 👍
Same problem, sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy worked for me as well. Ubuntu 13.10.
nodejs-legacy works on Ubuntu 14.04 as well
helped me too
Readme updated!
Thanks for your post. I'm not sure how, but the nodejs-legacy package got uninstalled from my development machine and I was suddenly having problems with bower for no apparent reason.

👍 nodejs-legacy
Still true in August of 2015, apparently? This saved me on a search!
Still true.
