Testing Hubot locally in Ubuntu

Question

Hi Stackoverflow community,

Well the thing is that I'm working on a script for hubot. Before starting to code I'm trying to test some hubot commands in the command line (I already did it in Windows but for some reasons I've to change to Ubuntu environment to start to code this brand new custom hubot) I'd like to be able to write in the terminal >Hubot PING and get a response PONG to start to work.

Till now I've already installed Node.js through nodenv https://github.com/OiNutter/nodenv and I tested my node >node -v, got v0.10.22. I forked my hubot and cloned locally and then apply ~./hubot> npm install to get all the dependencies and everything seems OK. Then I went to the installation folder >cd node_modules/hosted-hubot which has a folder called bin, inside the hubot folder.

So, till this point everything seemed OK and I tried to do in the command line: ./bin/hubot and I'm not able to run hubot locally, it gave me: nodenv: version `v0.8' is not installed. I tried to install an older version of node 0.8 and got the same message.

So that's it, hope you guys can help me to try to test my hubot locally

Thanks in advance!!!

I made a fresh install and I instal node.js without nodenv and everything works properly. It may not be the better solution but it was what I did.
