Got this error:sudo: npm: command not found. How to fix it?

#2

The error message “sudo: npm: command not found” indicates that the npm command is not installed or not in the system’s PATH.

You can install npm using a package manager like apt (for Debian/Ubuntu) or yum (for CentOS/RHEL):

sudo apt install npm # For Debian/Ubuntu

#3

If you’re using a macOS system, you can install npm using Homebrew:

brew install npm

#4

Alternatively, if you’re using a Linux system and npm is already installed but not found, you might need to add the directory where npm is installed to your PATH. You can do this by adding the following line to your shell configuration file (e.g., .bashrc or .zshrc):

export PATH="/path/to/npm/directory:$PATH"

Replace “/path/to/npm/directory” with the actual path where npm is installed. After adding this line, restart your terminal or run source ~/.bashrc (or source ~/.zshrc for zsh) to apply the changes.
