I just reset my Macbook and am getting "command not found" after installing apps via npm.
I have a working install of npm
and node
on my machine:
$ node -v
v18.9.0
$ npm -v
8.19.1
I've used npm install
within my project directory, and can see the node_modules
folder with the associated commands.
However, when I run something like eslint
, I get:
$ eslint
zsh: command not found: eslint
My path is up-to-date:
$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
I'm assuming that my machine isn't able to find the installed apps, but I don't know how to fix this.

For eslint
to be recognized as a command, you need to have it in the PATH
and one way to do this is to install the package globally. Which means that running the command will run the package installed globally and not the local one.
If you want to use the package from your local node_modules folder, you need to run it with npx eslint
. You could also define an alias in the package.json
to run it with npm run eslint
.
One last possible solution would be to add the path node_modules/.bin
to your PATH
.

In project folder run:
./node_modules/.bin/eslint --init
