NPM installation - no npm command in bash (It's not for nodejs app)

I want to use npm for one of my application.
As I notice, nodejs is already available by default, but not NPM. So, I've tried to install it with "curl -L https://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh" - and it looks like everything went OK (gist)
But 'npm' command is still unavailable in terminal.
My PATH variable has 'bin' folder with pointer to npm and it has permissions to be execute.
It installed in /home/<username>/webapps/<appname>/lib folder with pointer in /home/<username>/webapps/<appname>/bin folder.

How can I fix it to make it works?

UPD. It looks like node was installed as some dependency for part of app and it wasn't preinstalled. Installation of fresh node in home directory solved my problem with npm

npm bash nodejs
