The SSH dialog allows you to set the path to the Node.js binary. That should solve your issue.

Where can I find that binary? I couldn't find any file named node.js using the find command and googling the result does not bring up much useful information – Syncretism

can you try which node to see whether node is installed? – Navigate

Answer 3

I found it is necessary to scroll down and click on the advanced tab. Then I entered /usr/bin/nodejs from my "which nodejs" output in my SSH session. This worked for me even though the documentation states AWS tries to do this by default. That left me in the AWS file work space on the server I ssh'ed into as desired.
