What's wrong with npm command?

Question

npm

Hello! I decided to try react.js , I look at this course https://www.gitbook.com/book/maxfarseer/react-cour... I downloaded and installed node.js , and in the console with the command npm install express --save-dev gives the error "npm is not an internal or external command...". Please tell me how to solve the problem?

Answer 1

Look in the folder where Node is installed, there should be a nodevars.bat file.
Run it before doing anything with Node.
You can make sure that npm is in order with `npm -v` - its version should be released.
Also, you may need to manually set the path to `node_modules\.bin\` to run something installed locally in the project

Answer 2

Check if NPM is installed on the system: npm -v - the current version of NPM should be displayed.
If it doesn't work then google.com -> install NPM windows -> blog.teamtreehouse.com/install-node-js-npm-windows - reinstall Node.js making sure NPM is included in the list of installed features.
Good luck!

Answer 3

it's probably just not in the path
1) restart console
2) find where npm is installed
do ln -s /where/installed/npm /usr/bin/npm
