brew install npm "npm: command not found"
node.jsBashNpmOsx Elcapitannode.js Problem Overview
I've installed node using brew install node
and when I use the node -v
I get following v5.0.0
. However when I try to run the npm
command I get npm: command not found
.
I've tried to run brew install npm
, however I just got following response node-5.0.0 already installed
.
It happened with node also returning command not found, but that I fixed by running brew link node
, however npm still does not seem to work.
How can I resolve this problem?
node.js Solutions
Solution 1 - node.js
I encountered the same issue. After searching and reading different things online, what worked for me was:
$ brew postinstall node
However, first please do execute:
$ brew doctor
and follow the instructions there first, like the comment in your question mentions.
Solution 2 - node.js
Try running
$ brew postinstall node
Solution 3 - node.js
Try the following:
$ brew update
$ brew uninstall node
$ brew install node
$ sudo chown -R YouComputerName /usr/local/lib/node_modules/
$ brew postinstall node
Solution 4 - node.js
the same problem with you, I fixed by:
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js i -g npm
Solution 5 - node.js
I used cyrillic (non-latin) characters in my hostname/computername on mac. And that was the problem. After i changed this and reinstalled node/npm with Homebrew everything worked like normal. No utf8 in 2017? :/
Solution 6 - node.js
running: echo 'export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/node@16/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
should work, change node@16 to just node or which ever version you just installed.
