[Bug] SleepyPod service is looking in the wrong directory for Node on Pod 5

[devanshdesai]

Replication Details:

Device: Pod 5
Branch: main - v1.8.1 (I think?)

Problem:
I installed SleepyPod (main branch) for the first time on my Pod 5 and it installed successfully. However, it was continuously failing to start the service:

SleepyPod is looking for the node directory located at /usr/local/bin/node. On my Pod 5, it is installed at this directory:

root@eight-pod:~# which node
/usr/bin/node

To fix this, I just created a symlink between these two directories:

mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
ln -sf /usr/bin/node /usr/local/bin/node
ln -sf /usr/bin/npm /usr/local/bin/npm

Potential Solution:

We could just include these symlink creation lines in the install script for SleepyPod. Other pods seem to have Node installed at /usr/local/bin/node, but it is in /usr/bin/node on my Pod.
