Install Node.js

NodeAtlas is developed as a Node.js Module Package that means its require Node.js to work. Node.js allows us to quickly and efficiently run JavaScript code outside the browser, making it possible to use the same language on both the front-end and the back-end.

Note: Python 2.6 or 2.7 is required to build from source tarballs.

There is a naming conflict with the node package (Amateur Packet Radio Node Program), and the nodejs binary has been renamed from node to nodejs. You'll need to symlink /usr/bin/node to /usr/bin/nodejs or you could uninstall the Amateur Packet Radio Node Program to avoid that conflict.
