Interesting that our experiences were so different in virtually the same environment. Only possible difference I see is that I don't think I downloaded a 'minimal' Jesse. I don't recall the link but the image file I downloaded was 2016-11-25-raspbian-jessie.img with a file size of 4,269,056 KB as reported by Win7. I checked my terminal history so I know for sure I did not have to separately install git. The version of node on my working system is v0.10.29
