Can't find sam binary after installing aws-sam-local with npm

Question

I am trying to install aws-sam-local for Windows 10 using README.md in official GitHub repository .

However after npm installation is completed I can't find sam binary. Also in installation directory bin folder looks empty:

PS ...\node_modules\aws-sam-local> ls bin


    Directory: ...\node_modules\aws-sam-local\bin


Mode                LastWriteTime         Length Name

-a----         5/2/2018   1:22 PM             92 NOTICE

Unfortunately my PATH variable has nothing related to the installation.

Answer 1

Finally I found it under node_modules\\aws-sam-local\\node_modules\\.bin . It's strange that there are 2 binaries available in different subfolders:

.\AppData\Roaming\npm\sam.exe
.\node_modules\aws-sam-local\node_modules\.bin\sam.exe

The first one is 0.2.8 and second one is 0.2.11.

This fixed the PATH variable issue for me: Fixing npm path in Windows 8 and 10
