找不到 git-bash 上的全局命令 $ live-server？

Question

When I try to run $ live-server globally I get the following error:

C:\\Users\\name\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm/node_modules/node/bin/node: line 1: This: command not found

I'm thinking it must be looking in the wrong place for some reason. The following returns:

$ npm bin -g

C:\\Users\\name\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm

Anyone have any ideas why?

This is followed by node/issue 29287 which points to the same recommendation :

I deleted my C:/Users/{username}/AppData/Roaming/npm and C:/Users/{username}/AppData/Roaming/npm-cache and reinstalled global npm modules, and the problem ceased.

It would be much better though if these steps could be avoided after upgrading/downgrading node.
If not, then at least, make it explicit in the docs that this step may be necessary when upgrading/downgrading existing node installations.
