I am trying to build nodejs using the source code, following the steps at https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/BUILDING.md
And I am badly stuck at make test step. Can anybody help me?

My output of npm test looks like this:
node cli.js test

[email protected] test /home/aman/node-v4.6.0-linux-x64/lib/node_modules/npm
npm run test-tap

[email protected] test-tap /home/aman/node-v4.6.0-linux-x64/lib/node_modules/npm
npm run tap -- "test/tap/*.js"

[email protected] tap /home/aman/node-v4.6.0-linux-x64/lib/node_modules/npm
tap --reporter=classic --timeout 300 "test/tap/*.js"

sh: 1: tap: not found
