nodejs not found and too old on Ubuntu 16.04 #78

Just a giving my feedback having installed on Ubuntu 16.04. The default nodejs package installs at /usr/bin/nodejs, not /usr/bin/node, so instant-markdown-d complains about not being able to find it. However, creating a symlink didn't help because the version of nodejs is too old anyway, and gives a syntax error about block-scoped declarations not being allowed outside of strict mode.

To get it to work, I had to install a newer version of nodejs:

sudo npm -g install n
sudo n stable

Then it all works fine!
