npm: not found when creating a reactapp using NVM, NPM, in Pycharm - linux

Question

I am trying to create a React project in pycharm. I am using NVM version 0.34.0, and installed node using it.
Here is my pycharm window before starting a project
npm -v return 6.9.0
whereis npm returns npm: /home/usa/.nvm/versions/node/v12.3.1/bin/npm
Here is the error message
/home/usa/.nvm/versions/node/v12.3.1/bin/node /home/maged/.nvm/versions/node/v12.3.1/lib/node_modules/create-react-app/index.js .

You installed npm and you can see its version, but you should add it to PATH variable in your system so other services can find it.
first run this in your terminal
cat $PATH
check the output to see npm path there if it wasn't there run below command and try again
export PATH=$PATH:/<path-to-npm-bin>/npm/bin
