how do I get tern working with emacs using company

[Krishnakant]

Dear all,

I am trying to get term to work with emacs on Ubuntu 16.04.

But when I go in turn-mode and then do M-x company-mode I get this error.

"searching for program, no such file or directory tern".

I am using ubuntu 16.04 and did not find a package that supports 
tern-mode in emacs.

Can any one help?

Happy hacking.

Krishnakant.

I guess "term" is a typo and you meant "tern" (at least the second
form is more frequent).

But what *is* tern? My web search comes up with lots of stuff, the
most plausible is a javascript thingie.

Yes it is a javascript engine which frontends like company can use.

Aha, thanks :)

Alas, that's too far away from my comfort zone for me to be of any
use...

company-tern uses tern-command, defined in tern.el.

This is not a company question, it's a tern question. It has its own 
website, GitHub repo, and probably some relevant answers on Reddit, 
emacs.stackexchange.com, etc.

Offhand, you probably need to

npm install -g tern
