NPM module command not found
Sat, 29 Jun 2019
Until you properly config your environment you'll probably run into the command not found error when trying to run globally installed NPM modules.
Solution for Linux and OSX:
Step 1 - check if the path is correct
You need to have **/users/<ME>/.npm-global/bin**
in your $PATH
echo $PATH
If the printed string doesn't contain the above path, continue to Step 2
Step 2 - add npm global install path
We need to adjust the $PATH in order to contain the path to the NPM global module folder:
export PATH=$PATH:~/.npm-global/bin
Step 3 - reload .bashrc
The .bashrc file is usually only reloaded on startup. Run the bellow command to reload it again after you made the changes from Step 2.
source ~/.bash_profile
That's all. Your global NPM modules should now work in your terminal.
