node and shebang : help executing via command line

My node installation is at:

/usr/local/bin/node

and I've added the shebang:

#!/usr/local/bin/node

to the top of the file and given my node app file the permissions 755, but when I try to run:

> ./my-app

I get the old:

-bash: ./my-app: No such file or directory

What am I doing wrong?

Solution 1:

The node shebang is:

#!/usr/bin/env node

Not all systems place node in the same location, its possible that you have the location incorrectly. This will find them all.
