The term 'node' is not recognized... In Powershell
(11 answers)
Closed 6 months ago.
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 am trying to run some python(v=3.11) scripts using visual studio code(v=1.73.1) but doesn't matter what the code is (even just a simple "hello world"). When I type the name of the script in the terminal I get the following error:
PS C:\Users\biagini.WISMAIN\Desktop\PhD project\Python course\Tommaso Biagini_v2> hello.py
hello.py : The term 'hello.py' 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.

Suggestion [3,General]: The command hello.py was not found, but does exist in the current location. Windows PowerShell does not load commands from the current location by default. If you trust this command, instead type: ".\hello.py". See "get-help about_Command_Precedence" for more details.
I have tried to follow the suggestion but it still doesn't run.
Also what is weird visual studio was working perfectly fine unntill few days ago and now it suddently started to give me this error. Can someone please help me?
I have already tried the suggestion promped by the terminal but it does not work.
You need a Python interpreter to run your code. Try python hello.py if your python interpreter is installed in your environment.
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.

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.
So I started using nodemon a while ago and started to use it again recently. But I got an error from the VS-Code command line:
The term 'nodemon' 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
+ nodemon
+ ~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (nodemon:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException
This basically means it isn't a command, similar thing would happen in an actual cmd.
Edit: I made this Q&A just for some people who have this same problem.
If you get this error, this probably means you either haven't installed nodemon, or it is not on your environment variable called 'Path'. I am assuming you did do npm install -g nodemon. Otherwise I have no idea what you are doing here. Also, this will be a very in-depth answer
So first, you want to go to your search bar in Windows. Then type; "env".
After, you want to click on "Edit the system environment variables". It's self-explanatory, it's the system environment's variables.
Then, you want to click on "Environment Variables." A window will pop up with a lot of things, you want to find the variable called 'Path' in the system variables:
You then want to select it and click "Edit". Then a tab will open up; with the contents of the variable, I am using version 10.0.18363 of Windows, yours might look different then mine. But you want to add a new variable. If you have this variable C:\Users\yourUsername\AppData\Roaming\npm and nodemon still doesn't work, you can skip this step. Otherwise you will see other paths listed, just append to it separating with semicolon.
For example, let's say the last path listed is, "C:\Windows\System32". I would add a ";", and then the path to nodemon, so the final result will look like: "C:\Windows\System32;C:\Users\dawoo\AppData\Roaming\npm".
After that, you want to click OK and then OK again. You should be fine now. If you still have the problem, like I did, you want to right-click on the Windows button, and click: "Windows PowerShell (Admin)". You want to copy and paste three things seperately. I pressed "A" for 1 and 2 (Yes to All), this might not work, so try "Yes", which is "Y".
) Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
) Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
) Get-ExecutionPolicy
After you type Get-ExecutionPolicy, you should get "Unrestricted" or "RemoteSigned", something like that. Now, nodemon should work now! I just wanted to make this Q&A post because I saw lots of people DMing me on Discord saying nodemon doesn't work, and I also wanted to help others who stumbled across this problem. Have a great rest of your day.
Edit: OverFlow didn't save my changes, hopefully you see this but I found out how to fix this problem from one of my friends.
I tried Install-Package nodejs, which seems to have done something:
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Install-Package nodejs
The package(s) come(s) from a package source that is not marked as trusted.
Are you sure you want to install software from 'chocolatey'?
[Y] Yes [A] Yes to All [N] No [L] No to All [S] Suspend [?] Help (default is "N"): y

nodejs.install 11.10.0 chocolatey Node JS - Evented I/O for v8 JavaScript.
nodejs 11.10.0 chocolatey Node JS - Evented I/O for v8 JavaScript.
Then when I try to run the node command, it fails:
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> node

How do I do it properly with PackageManager, so that the command is then available?
Not sure if this other question is related: Chocolaty packages not installing via OneGet/PackageManagement in Windows 10?
As that other question suggests, I tried setting Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted, the uninstalling and reinstalling nodejs, but the result is the same.
I do see that after install the following files exist:
C:\Chocolatey\lib\nodejs.11.10.0\nodejs.11.10.0.nupkg
C:\Chocolatey\lib\nodejs.install.11.10.0.nupkg\nodejs.install.11.10.0.nupkg

C:\Chocolatey\lib\nodejs.install.11.10.0.nupkg\nodejs.install.11.10.0.nupkg\tools\node-v11.10.0-x86.msi
which makes me think that maybe it expects me to run the installer manually after?
My goal is to simply install anything I need on a new Windows machine from a script, without having to download/install them all manually with GUIs.
I was able to reproduce this, but also was able to resolve it. The issue is that the node executable isn't on the PATH after installing with Install-Package. However, this does make some sense as the current PowerShell process won't pick up outside changes to environment variables until it is relaunched.
Chocolatey's refreshenv command works sometimes but not always, and after installing nodejs with Install-Package, refreshenv did not work to refresh the PATH variable. What did work was launching a new PowerShell session and running the node command, which ran the executable successfully:
> node
Welcome to Node.js v16.7.0.
Type ".help" for more information.
>
choco.exe can sometimes mask this but usually Chocolatey won't generate shims for executables placed by EXE or MSI installers (unless the package maintainer forcibly creates them).
Tip: In case you are in a situation where you need to call the binary from the same process that installed the package (e.g. during a chef-client run where refreshenv isn't an option), use the fully-qualified path to the executable to invoke the newly-installed software.
Additionally, don't use the Chocolatey OneGet provider in real automation; it's not yet stable and looks like it hasn't seen any development activity in five years at this time of writing. From the README.md:
NOTE: Seeking maintainers to help finish this Provider. Please inquire on the issues list or on Gitter (see the chat room below). Thanks!
There is an alternative listed in the same README:
NOTE: For now, you may be more interested in using the ChocolateyGet provider as a stop gap solution until this provider is ready. See https://github.com/jianyunt/ChocolateyGet for details
I tried this and it seems to work, but I would still recommend using the official choco.exe binary. It's easy to install and you'll get the best support when using it. It's also telling that configuration management solutions (such as Chef's chocolatey_package resource) continue to make use of the binaries and will generally list installing the client as a prerequisite, even though technically the PackageManagement module could be used as a native solution instead.
It worked for me:
winget install nodejs
I am using phonegap/cordova.
Everthing is installed propelry i.e cordova, phonegap, ant,sdk,jdk.
But now it says "node is not recogzed as an internal or external command"
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.
Great answers, but you could just open the command prompt and type in
SET PATH=C:\Program Files\Nodejs;%PATH%
Worked for me by running the command prompt as an administrator
Add a system variable named "node", with value of your node path.
It solves my problem, hope it helps.
If you install Node using the windows installer, there is nothing you have to do. It adds path to node and npm.
You can also use Windows setx command for changing system environment variables. No reboot is required. Just logout/login. Or just open a new cmd window, if you want to see the changing there.
setx PATH "%PATH%;C:\Program Files\nodejs"
As you're using Windows, installation should automatically edit the %PATH% variable. Therefore, I suspect you simply need to reboot your system after installing.
Be aware that the Path is case sensitive. I tried setx PATH and it didn't work. In my case it was setx Path. Make sure your CMD run as Administrator.
setx Path "%PATH%;C:\Program Files\nodejs"
Now just restart your command prompt (or restart the PC) and the node command should be available.
Also, try to run nvm on to turn on the node. Worked for me.
If you already have node installed, your path variable is set up and you suddenly start getting this error; try updating to the latest version.
This worked for me going from 6.9.2 to 6.10.
In my case, I'm using NVM and it installed Node v16.2.0, which for some reason has node.exe named as node64.exe. I changed it to node.exe and everything just worked.
In windows search bar type "enviroment variable" open it and set path
C:\Program Files\nodejs;
After adding path in system enviroment variable, If problem still occurs then follow steps
Close cmd and open new cmd, try "node" command.
For VS code close all windows and reopen then try "node" command.
If above steps didn't work then restart system.(this one worked for me)
I tried the solutions above but uninstall and reinstall of nodejs from installer the only one worked for me.
In my case I was using nvm-windows and JetBrains Rider. The required paths were specified in environment variables, but MSBuild wasn't picking them up. Apparently I haven't rebooted my PC after installing NVM. Rebooting the PC fixed the problem.
Please install node through nvm
following command will give you the path where node is installed .
nvm root
Current Root: C:\Users\u725561\AppData\Roaming\nvm
node would be present inside the subdirectory of nvm root .
add the directory C:\Users\u725561\AppData\Roaming\nvm\v12.22.2 to path environment variable.
I had the same problem. My solution was just restart :/
If you have this problem, you should just try restart first...
Try to add the version at the end in the PATH variable
C:\Program Files\nodejs\16.x.x
**Wnidows-11**
control panel---Advance system setting----Enviornment Variable---new----Variable Name(Path) Varibale value(C:\Program Files\nodejs or whichever your path)
Afterwards restart your cli and node -v then boom!!
enter image description here
Make sure that the node.exe exists in C:\Program Files\nodejs\, then add it to the path. ( See above answers to see how)
I am using chocolate package manger for installing nodejs by running choco install nodejs. Surprisingly in some versions the node.exe was not created in C:\Program Files\nodejs\ !
So make sure the node.exe is in C:\Program Files\nodejs\
I went through all the comments here, none of them worked. I found I had to uninstall and reinstall node.js and then it worked. Probably not the best solution but try this answer at the bottom of the list if all else fails...
For me I just click on empty session and it works for me
