Daniel,
Apparently, you're trying to directly install fdk without using npm package manager this way,
bash$ sudo apt install fdk
But, Please make sure you check out this Developer Documentation for install CLI for Freshdesk App Developers.
After you install node v6.10.X, please - (for Unix/Mac)
sudo npm install https://dl.freshdev.io/cli/fdk-4.8.0.tgz -g
Don't hesitate get back if you need any additional help on this. :-)
I'm having trouble installing the CLI as well and FDK is not found. Here is my terminal output:
sh-3.2# npm install https://dl.freshdev.io/cli/fdk-6.0.1.tgz -g

Hi Willie,
Try running this command:
npm install -g https://dl.freshdev.io/cli/fdk-6.0.1.tgz --allow-root --unsafe-perm=true
Let me know if this worked for you.
Got it working, thanks for the help

Hello,
I've been trying to install the fdk. I've tried various versions. They all give error messages during install about missing our outdated modules.
Once the install is finished the fdk cannot be run. I get the following error message
Command 'fdk' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo apt install plastimatch
Can you offer any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?
Thanks
