CodePudding user response：

First find out where npm and node are located using the commands:

which npm
which node

Then add npm and node to the environment variable using the VS Code terminal using the commands:

export PATH=$PATH:/example/npm
export PATH=$PATH:/example/node

CodePudding user response：

Are you sure you are using the same shell?

If not, then print out the PATH variable in the terminal with echo $PATH and set the output in the VS Code terminal to test (by export $PATH=<output>)
