Running Node on WSL.

Is anyone else trying to do this?The Windows 10 Creators Update went live yesterday, which includes some major updates to WSL (Ubuntu on Windows). So I figured I'd try installing Node and see how things go.Node actually installed correctly, and it appears to run fine. But npm is another story, running npm -v says:: not foundram Files/nodejs/npm: 3: /mnt/c/Program Files/nodejs/npm: : not foundram Files/nodejs/npm: 5: /mnt/c/Program Files/nodejs/npm: /mnt/c/Program Files/nodejs/npm: 6: /mnt/c/Program Files/nodejs/npm: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting "in") One of the updates to WSL is the ability to launch Windows executables from WSL. It's obviously trying to run the npm that's installed in Windows. Which is strange, because whereis npm returns /usr/bin/npm as the first result (and the Windows npm as the next). In fact, if I run /usr/bin/npm, it works, but obviously I shouldn't have to do that.
