- on Linux, use your distribution's package to install nodejs and npm.

In debian you need at least jessie, as the packaged version of npm before
that does not work. In Ubuntu you need at least Ubuntu 14.04, as the
packaged version of npm before that does not work. Otherwise install nodejs
and npm manually.

Once you have npm working, install less and less-plugin-clean-css.
In debian wheezy and Ubuntu 13.10 and before you need to install nodejs
manually.

.. code-block:: console
$ sudo npm install -g less less-plugin-clean-css
$ wget -qO- https://deb.nodesource.com/setup | bash -
$ apt-get install -y nodejs
On debian and Ubuntu you also need to set a symbolic link from noejs to
node because the shebang line of lessc uses node.
Starting from jessie and Ubuntu 14.04 the distribution's package works. But
you may need to had a symlink as npm packages shebngs uses node whereas
debian uses nodejs.

.. code-block:: console
$ apt-get install -y npm
$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node
Once you have npm working, install less and less-plugin-clean-css.

.. code-block:: console
$ sudo npm install -g less less-plugin-clean-css
- on OS X, install nodejs via your preferred package manager (macports_,
homebrew_) then install less and less-plugin-clean-css.
