The problem is that I can actually access the C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe through Windows CMD like : node -v:
C:\Users\User>node -v
v16.13.0
But the Visual Studio Code (with installed node.js extension pack) doesn't recognize the node in terminal. All that I could have found myself is that:
I should include the nodejs folder in my PATH variable (done already) and
restart my PC
restart IDE.
All of the three steps were done but still VSCode doesn't recognize the "node" command in terminal.
node : The term 'node' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the
spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:1
Everything is working for now, I just had to manually close and re-open terminal through VSCode -> Terminal -> New Terminal, also pressing the "Powershell" button on terminal panel could've solved the issue.

If I type any Nodejs command in Vscode Terminal there comes the error
The term "nodemon" was not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if the path is correct (if included),
and repeat the process.
It also doesn't works in external Terminal but it works in Terminal which isn't opened by VSCode.
Thanks for your help!
If you're using windows, you should use the npx command to run modules.
It should come preinstalled alongside npm
npx nodemon
You have to make sure that the variables:
C:\Program Files\nodejs\
C:\Users\(your Username)\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules
are present in your system environment variables under the path tab.
I am on a Windows 10 machine. I installed node from the node.js website. Node.js did not add the path to the path environment variable, and the node command didn't work in either powershell or the command prompt. Node.js installed at C:\Program Files\nodejs. I added this path to the path environment variable, and now it works in powershell but it fails when I try to run in in the command prompt.
When I try to use yarn create next-app --typescript in powershell, it says that 'node' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

The term 'node' is not recognized... In Powershell

I'm getting this error while running node in my VS Code terminal besides I tried to run the same thing in CMD and it worked there but not in VS Code terminal:
node: The term 'node' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

What worked for me was : open Visual Studio Code -> Terminal -> New Terminal
Everything else I tried didn't...
I also got this error, I resolved it by opening Visual Studio Code with Run as administrator privilages (in Windows).
Try closing and then reopening VS Code.
If you have installed node while VS Code was opened then the change to the PATH won't be visible yet. (be sure that the add to PATH option is selected while installing node...if not be sure to add it to the PATH)
I faced the same error. And the solution I found is while reinstalling on the last step it asked if we wanted to install Choclatey and other few files that may be required, I unticked that option and Whola it worked. I dont know the technicality why it worked but it worked.
if you have anaconda installed, everytime vscode the terminal, infact the vscode opens the conda environment,
you can solve it by typing,
conda install -c conda-forge nodejs
I faced the same problem, it's because I select an option to install chocolatey and python during installation process .
When I try to uninstall my node installed and try to reinstall without choosing option to install chocolatey and python it works for me ....

Add node to your environment variable using following steps.
If your operating system is windows 10,
Right click "This PC" -> Properties
Properties
Then click "Advance system settings" and click "Environment Variable" button as follow
Environment variable
Then select the path and click Edit button
User Variables for Administrator
For the above error you have to add node js location.
Click New and add node file path.
C:\Program Files\nodejs
File path
I installed nodejs in Windows system from official website and npm giving errors:
CALL "C:\Program Files\node js\\node.exe" "C:\Program Files\nodejs\\node_modules\npm\bin\npm-cli.js" prefix -g' is not
recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
I have given all sorts of paths. Please help me.
http://prntscr.com/gso39z
Add the following paths to your PATH environment variable
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\npm
C:\Program Files\nodejs\
(note that i have windows 10, where your programs are installed can differ as per your windows version)
To permanently set PATH environment variable, follow these steps:
This PC/ My Computer Properties
Advanced System Settings, (right side)
from popup, click environment variable
select PATH environment variable under system variable, (not user variable) then click edit
Click new, and copy and paste one of the path (given) there.
new again and paste second path
to check if its set or not, goto terminal, and type PATH
note: if you type PATH, its value will be displayed, but if you type %PATH% , each of its value will act as a command input to terminal (windows terminal -_-).
Start the process by being an administrator.
Open up your command prompt as an administrator.
And if you are using older version of node say 6.9, please upgrade to 6.10, it may solve your problem.
Although I've follow suggestions from:
'node' is not recognized as an internal or an external command, operable program or batch file while using phonegap/cordova
Node.js doesn't recognize system path?
‘ant’ is not recognized as an internal or external command...
I'm having an strange issue: Resume, although node path is list in Path, it doesn't find node.
Workflow:
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.3.9600] //Running CMD on windows 8.1
(c) 2013 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
I followed suggestions in SO, adding variable to Environment Variables, and it's display Ok in Path:
C:\Users\myUser>path
PATH=c:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs ; (...omitted...) //So folder is there
Next line will fail
C:\Users\myUser>call jasmine-node spec
'node' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
C:\Users\myUser>cd "c:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs" //So I move to the folder list before...
But if I move to folder list in Path, then it works OK.
c:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs>call jasmine-node spec
> (...omitted...) //Exec OK.
c:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs>node
> //Exec OK. Waiting...
It seems contradictory.
The nodejs directory in your PATH isn't recognized because there's a space before the semicolon, so Windows is looking for a directory with a space at the end of the name, which doesn't exist.
Error: 'node' is not recognized as an internal or external command
The problem is may be the node is not installed on the machine in which the application is running.
Then install it and set the environment variable for nodejs.
Or
One more reason can be the nodejs path not set in the environment variable.
Check with the following -
open Control Panel -> System and Security -> System -> Advanced System Settings -> Environment Variables -> Path
the nodejs path should be available here.
If not available then add the following:
C:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs
OR
C:\Program Files\nodejs
Now Re-Run the application and the Error got resolved.
;C:\Program Files\nodejs\
Slash after \nodejs\ worked for me
Usually the environment variables are not effective till a system
Restart.
I suggest a System Restart for all those who face the same issue when doing a clean install.
This worked for me.
In Windows, you need to set node.js folder path into system variables or user variables.
1) open Control Panel -> System and Security -> System -> Advanced System Settings -> Environment Variables
2) in "User variables" or "System variables" find variable PATH and add node.js folder path as value. Usually it is C:\Program Files\nodejs;. If variable doesn't exists, create it.
3) Restart your IDE or computer.
It is useful add also "npm" and "Git" paths as variable, separated by semicolon.
If you did npm install jasmine-node -g you should just need to do jasmine-node spec (no call prefix).
If you've checked your PATH, and are sure that the path for node is added properly, then you're likely to face the problem while running node OR npm commands with CLI's other than the default command line interface of the operating system (e.g. Git bash in Windows).
The strange part is that you can check for node -v and npm -v in those CLIs, but for some reasons, they don't work well with those commands (especially when combined with install or update).
Possible Solution
Try running node with the default terminal for your OS.
I faced this issue even after adding node.exe to PATH. I wasn't able to run node command at random locations without running command prompt as administrator.
Solution to this issue is, you have to give full access permissions to this node.exe file for different user types. open the properties of node.exe, go to security tabs, check all the security options to the user on your local machine.
after doing this you should be able to access the node.exe file from any location.
things to check:
open CMD>Go to the directory where node.exe resides > type node -v > :
if it shows the version: Please add the same path (like>
PATH=C:\Programfiles\nodejs\;) in the OS path in environment variable (any of the
system or user variable, both work fine)
if it doesn't recognize, please add a variable PATHEXT=.exe; in the environment
variable (The PathExt is an Environment Variable that stores a list of the file
extensions for the operation system to execute) and save them.
Now open a new command prompt window and check.it must work.
After installing nodejs you have to restart your terminal or IDE .
C:\Program Files\nodejs
adding the path without the semi-colon did it for me...
For the issue which is coming "node' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.", I have tried updating the path, but the issue didn't resolve. So I uninstalled and installed node.js and it worked for me.
The error:
node-is-not-recognized-as-an-internal-or-external-command
And the following solution:
Set Environment variable NODE_HOME as C:\Program Files\nodejs
Open cmd window and run:
cd "C:\Program Files\nodejs"
npm install connect
npm install -g appium
It's as simple as adding the location of nodejs (C:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs) to your PATH variable and restarting your application with "Run as administrator".
