Not able to run globally installed node packages - node.js

I have nodejs in my system. And I installed "http-server" globally using npm( npm install -g http-server). After installing http-server I tried to run http-server, but it is showing "'http-server' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
I have added "%AppData%\Roaming\npm;" in NODE_PATH and "C:\Program Files\nodejs\;/usr/local/share/npm/bin/;" in PATH. But still I have the same issue.
Can anyone help me on this.

Open command prompt and do following :
npm config get prefix
And append the output of above command to PATH for example:
o/p C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\npm
Do as set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\npm

Run this:
export PATH="$(yarn global bin):$PATH"

nmp install -g under Windows 10, not recognized as a command

While logged in to Windows 10 as a User, and opened the command prompt as an Adminstrator, cd to my nodeJs project directory and did npm install browser-refresh -g in order to install the browser-refresh package from the npm which went ok but with some "npm WARN deprecated" messages. and the confirmatioin
browser-refresh#1.7.3
then I modified my code according to the package instructions and did browser-refresh index.js which suppose to replaces node index.js but I get the error
'browser-refresh' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
So I installed it locally with out the -g tag for no avail. I able to run it using the command C:\Users\adminName\AppData\Roaming\npm\browser-refresh index.js
I added the path above to the list of Paths under "System variables > Path" for no avail. I may un install the local package since that did not work. Someone please suggests a working solution.
Even though I get it running with the long command, the pacakge did not refresh the web page after changed the index.html file and saved it but this may be a different question.
Thank you
The path to the NPM bin folder may not be defined in your PATH environment variable. You can test this by installing another package that should be executable from the command line and checking to see if executing it results in the same error.
If it does, you can "%AppData%\npm" to your PATH. Here are instructions on how to do so.
Hope this helped!

Why "artillery" is not recognized as an internal or an external command?

I want to use artillery to test a nodejs app,
I installed artillery.io globally and I added the path to the environmen variables, but I still get the error
"'artillery' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.". I can't find similar issues on the web.
I couldn't install it in cmd first either, but then repeating same installation steps through Powershell (run as Administrator) worked fine.
Being:
install: npm install -g artillery
check installation: artillery -V
Look in the folder pointed out by
$yarn global dir and see if that folder is in your $PATH.
Or you can specify the a prefix when adding the package like below.
$yarn global add artillery --prefix /usr/local
you need to set environment variable path of npm
and my system npm path is "C:\Users\RanjitBarsa\AppData\Roaming\npm"
hope this works!!

Using GRUNT from NodeJS error message "'grunt' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"

The webproject that I am working on uses SASS which is compiled into Grunt tasks, and grunt is supposed to run in NodeJS.
I have been given these instructions but it's not working:
I installed NodeJS (default folder/settings)
I then went in my project folder in CMD C:\Users\Ben\Desktop\officeincambridge>
Then ran the command npm install -g grunt-cli
and npm install grunt
If I type NPM version (in dir above) I get npm --version: 1.4.14 , node --version: v0.10.29
However, when if I try and compile the files using grunt sass i get this error message 'grunt' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Can anyone assist me on how to use it (I have never used grunt before). HERE are the instructions which I am using.
Thank you
Try to install
npm install -g grunt-cli
This seems to be a duplicate of this question: Grunt on Windows 8: 'grunt' is not recognized
In his case, it was a PATH issue. Check that your PATH is correct. It must contains the path where npm is installed: C:\Users\Ben\AppData\Roaming\npm
I also had the same issue :
To Solve this
I have added "grunt path" in SYSTEM environment Variable .
C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\npm\grunt
To find your grunt path Use Command(in cmd) : where grunt
Once Added Path to SYSTEM Environment Variable Restart Jenkins and build job again

Running karma after installation results in 'karma' is not recognized as an internal or external command

I'm trying to run karma as part as an angular-seed project, after installing karma using
npm install -g karma
I get:
'karma' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
when i'm trying to run test.bat from angular-client\scripts, the content of this file is:
set BASE_DIR=%~dp0
karma start "%BASE_DIR%..\config\karma.conf.js" %*
I also tried to navigate to "\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\karma\bin" and saw karma file, when I'm trying to run it I get again:
'karma' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Any suggestions?
If not please suggest how to use jasmine without karma.
Thanks.
The command line interface is in a separate package.
To install this use:
npm install -g karma-cli
karma-cli
It is recommended to install karma with its Command-Line-Interface (karma-cli) which will take care of fetching the appropriate karma. You can also install a different local version specific to each project you're working on and karma-cli will pick the appropriate one.
From the karma installation page:
Typing ./node_modules/karma/bin/karma start sucks so you might find it useful to install karma-cli globally:
npm install -g karma-cli
Now, check that karma was installed by typing:
which karma //echo something like: /usr/local/bin/karma
and check that karma server is working (ctr+c to quit):
karma start
You can also check that karma was installed by going to this directory:
cd /usr/local/lib/node_modules/karma
Good luck!
On windows when you install a npm (non-globally - so without the -g flag), the executable commands are linked in the node_modules\.bin folder.
For example:
powershell> .\node_modules\.bin\karma start
powershell> .\node_modules\.bin\karma run
I had the same issue and fixed it by correcting my PATH environment variable.
STEP 1: go to the following path and ensure karma.cmd is present at the location given below
[Nodejs folder path]\node_modules\.bin <=> C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\.bin
STEP 2: If present go to STEP 3, If not present run the following command npm install -g karma
STEP 3: Open environment variables and edit PATH
STEP 4: Add the following at the end :
[Nodejs folder path]\node_modules\.bin; <=> "C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\.bin"
Log out your session and it will work for sure.
Based upon your directory using \AppData\Roaming, you're on Windows and this error is usually because the path to the npm globals isn't in the Windows PATH or NODE_PATH environment variables.
Use SET to check the values you are using for the paths and if your npm directory isn't listed, that will be the issue.
If you don't want npm to save to this directory, check the npm configuration options and the npm folders docs to see what you can change in this regard...
'karma' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable
program or batch file.
If the above mentioned solution does not work, than
The cause of issue is previous version of nodejs. So uninstall the previous version of nodejs and re-install the latest version. It will resolve your issue. As I faced the same and by doing above changes it worked for me.
Thanks.
Official documentation at https://karma-runner.github.io/0.12/intro/installation.html is confusing. It implies that npm install -g karma-cli is to install karma globally but it actually required for to run karma from command line.
I had same: 'karma' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. problem when i tried to install it directly to my project file. When i used npm install -g karma-cli to global install everything worked just fine.
