I have node v16.6.0 and npm 8.1.3.

I ran command

npm i npm-check-updates -g

and then,

ncu

But it says: 'ncu' is not recognized as an internal or external command

Are you using nvm to manage node? If not, it is recommended that you do - it handles adding the correct node bin directory to your path.

If for whatever reason you don't want to use nvm, ensure that the directory returned by npm bin -g is in your PATH, example:

export PATH="$(npm bin -g):$PATH"

I resolved it by adding the path of nvc to system's path variable by using this command:

set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Roaming\npm
