bash: nodemon: command not found

Question

I have been using nodemon for past few months now. It's just that today I got this error. I tried uninstalling nodemon and the reinstalled it. I also forced install it. Nothing worked. Whenever I run the nodemon command

bash: nodemon: command not found

pops up.

There are other answers too and I have looked them all up. They haven't worked for me.

Answer 1

I have faced this error once, and in my package.json , I updated the nodemon location and it worked.

Below code is in my package.json

"start" : "./node_modules/.bin/nodemon server.js"

and then after running npm start it works.

Answer 2

If you don't have nodemon installed globally try to do that. I had the same issue but after installing it globally whenever I ran the command it work

sudo npm install -g nodemon

I hope this will help

Answer 3

This is down to your global variables.

Ensure npm is included in your PATH var and there is no conflicting npm directories

echo %PATH%

If it is, get your npm root, Ensure the npm in your global path matches the npm root

npm root -g

Navigate there and ensure the "nodemon" file is there. This is where all the npm install -g files are installed. If not run npm i nodemon -g and confirm that it has been added to the npm root folder.

Having all of these boxes ticked will get these globals are working for you again.
