cdk command not found on MacOs

Question

I was trying to install aws-cdk on my Mac, it was installed successfully via npm install -g aws-cdk version 1.85.0 . But then when I was trying to verify the installation with cdk --version I got the error bash: cdk: command not found . According to AWS documentation, aws-cdk is not compatible with Node.js version 13.0.0 to 13.6.0, but I got v14.15.4 . How this can be fixed?

Answer 1

this sounds like the node/npm version(s?) on your machine are in a bad state somehow. I'd recommend following this answer on doing a full re-install for nodejs on your mac and reinstalling cdk if you haven't yet

Answer 2

I solve it but didn't found the reason. It was solved by adding an alias to.bash_profile as

# Setting path to aws cdk
alias cdk="/Users/andreyshedko/.npm-global/bin/bin/cdk"
