I have paths to Node and NPM in both my user defined environment variable PATH and in system variable Path.
For node: C:\Program Files\nodejs
For npm: C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\npm
Now node and npm are recognized by Windows Command Prompt but not by WebStorm's terminal. I get error:
'node' is not recognized as an internal or external command
Does anyone know what is problem? I could use WebStorm's terminal normally till today, but something went wrong and now I'm stuck.
EDIT:

I had similar issue. I had to select File -> Exit from the IntelliJ application as opposed to using IntelliJ's internal restart option: File -> Invalidate Caches / Restart -> Just Restart.
I had the similar problem like this.I was working with my project with another computer. and after that i decide to work with this project with my computer.so after moving the Files of project. i installed the Node.js and i had all of the paths about Node but when i was want to Run the project. i had this problem. i search a lot but nothing works. so i guess maybe when i restart my computer the new paths of variable system will work well. i restarted and my problem solved!
For those who are encountering this problem when you try to edit the run configuration, you have to put "start" as the command instead of "npm". By default Webstorm knows it's a npm project so it already starts with npm, you simply have to put the start command after that.

Whenever I try to run any npm related command such as npm -v or npm install , it gives me the error:
From the screenshot, you can see that it is trying to navigate to find the module but the module can not be found at:
C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\bin\node_modules\npm\bin\npm-cli.js
Actually, the location of the npm-cli in my system is:
C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\bin\npm-cli.js
In fact, I have set the path in the environment variable like this:
User variables:
System variables:
The solution I got is to run this command every time I want to run any npm related command:
SET PATH=C:\Program Files\Nodejs;%PATH%
But it is not a solution to run this command in the terminal every time I start working on my project in VS Code. I want to permanently set the path in the environment variable.
How can I resolve this?
Same issue, this was first major post I saw, so adding my fix for others who find themselves here. Hope it's helpful:
Restart PC, open VS Code, and delete any terminal instances that are still open, as they will not inherit the new path(s) if they are 'session-restored'.
My root cause was updating Node, which for whatever reason prefaced an environmental variable in $PATH$ with a semi-colon ';'. Worked in external cmd.exe, but didn't work in VS Code integrated terminal until I realized I had to restart the old ones.
This thread was the one that eventually got me there:
VS Code terminal doesn't recognize PATH variables
Node JS and NPM were working well before. Recently I have re-installed the Node JS, NPM and the problem started. After I install a module like an example npm install -g bower, the module gets installed successfully but bower -v gives
'bower' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
I have checked the installation path
C:\Users\XXXXX\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules has all the old installed modules. I have tried to uninstall them and reinstall the modules, but still, I am getting the same error.
Even I have deleted the entire folder and installed all the modules again but the result is the same.
I don't know why I am getting this error after reinstalling NodeJS NPM.
I had this same problem and fixed it by adding the 'npm' directory to my PATH:
Right-click 'My Computer' and go to 'Properties > Advanced System Settings > Environment Variables'.
Double click on PATH under the 'User variables for Username' section, and add C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\npm obviously replacing 'username' with yours. Based on the comments below, you may need to add it to the top/front of your path.
Restart your console window or IDE and you should get a response from the bower command.
I had the same problem as well but installed it globally so the other answers didn't work.
The nodeJS install may not have added npm to your PATH so it's not recognised globally.
Firstly: To figure out if you installed globally or for current user
If there is an npm folder at C:\Users\(your username)\AppData\Roaming\npm you've installed it for the current user
If there is an npm folder at C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm or C:\Program Files(x86)\nodejs\node_modules\npm you've installed it globally for all users to access
Secondly: To add it to the Path
Right-click My Computer
Click on properties down the bottom
Click on Advanced System Settings in the left bar
Click on Environment Variables down the bottom
Now depending on whether you installed globally or for the current user will determine which PATH variable you are updating and with what path location
Local
Double click on PATH under 'user variables' section
Add C:\Users\(your username)\AppData\Roaming\npm without the quotes
Global
Double click on PATH under 'user variables' section
Add C:\Program Files\nodejs without the quotes (or with (x86))
Finally
Close all terminals or programs that aren't able to find npm and open them up again
Run npm config get prefix and check the correct npm path first and append the output to the PATH using command or adding manually.
npm config get prefix
C:\mydev\tools\npm\npm
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\mydev\tools\npm\npm
If the package is successfully installed and still shows the message "'npm' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
Click windows start button.
Look for "ALL APPS", you will see Node.js and Node.js Command prompt there.
You can run the Node.js Command prompt as administrator and soon as its run it will show the message "Your environment has been set up for using Node.js 6.3.0 (x64) and npm."
You should probably check if your node/bin directory is in your PATH variable. Look for it where you've been installing these global modules.
I'm not on windows, so I can't tell you the exact command, but you can check these variables navigating to [Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables] or something like this.
I had the same issue in Windows
Two solution worked for me
If you are using bash shell, use npm run
Example : $ npm run ng --version
Use Windows power shell or command prompt
In my case the npm folder was already in the PATH variable.
If after trying everything else, you also still can't make it work, try to delete the folder from the PATH variable and put it at the beginning of the list.
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
I'm having a problem running Grunt from the command line on my Windows 8 machine.
My research indicates the most common solution is to install grunt-cli, since Grunt is no longer global. I also need to make sure I actually install the Grunt task runner, since that's not installed with grunt-cli.
Other solutions point to the PATH system environment variable, but that appears to be pointed as I'd expect to:
C:\Users[username]\AppData\Roaming\npm
Having done all that, I'm still getting a "'grunt' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file" error message in the CLI. I've tried the following things, uninstalling everything after every attempt:
Installed grunt-cli globally (npm install -g grunt-cli), then grunt at the directory level I want to use it (npm install grunt)
The same as above, but with the order of installation reversed
The same as both of the above, but using the Admin Command Prompt
Am I missing something obvious?
I've not had any issues with grunt on several different windows 8 machines.
If you open the folder: C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\npm
Do you have a file named grunt.cmd in this folder?
If not I'd maybe try npm install -g grunt-cli again, maybe from an elevated command prompt.
If this exists and you have C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\npm in your PATH environment variable then typing grunt from a command prompt should work.
Silly question, have you tried closing the command prompt and opening a new one?
Confirm your PATH is correct (and not messed up). Just type PATH from the command prompt. There's really no other explanation that makes sense given the error you're describing and the steps you've taken.
Normally, using the where grunt command would have found grunt.cmd in your path if npm is installed correctly and it has been properly added to the system path.
Close all Command Prompt instances.
Start a new Command Prompt instance.
Type PATH Enter and verify if C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\npm is part of the path.
If not, you need to log off and on again,or close the Command Prompt and restart the explorer process.
In the Command Prompt, type where grunt Enter.
You're good if it reports:
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\npm\grunt
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\npm\grunt.cmd
Otherwise, you have to reinstall the grunt-cli package if it reports:
INFO: Could not find files for the given pattern(s).
Apparently, programs that change the PATH environment variable must broadcast a WM_SETTINGCHANGE message. The Windows' System settings window does it correctly when you change the PATH variable, but the NPM installer doesn't. That's why you have to restart explorer (or log off or restart, which has the same effect).
I know this has been answered but I thought I'd offer my step by step solution for windows 8.
First thing I checked was the PATH in my laptops Environment Variables (Right click my computer > properties > advanced system settings > Environment Variables)
It wasn't listed in there so I added a new variable in User variables (so it was specific only to my user account)
In the new user variable prompt I entered the following;
Variable Name: PATH
Variable Value: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\npm
Quit command prompt, repoened, navigated to my projects directory and tried running grunt again and... SUCCESS!
I had the same issue.
I tried different things:
Restart computer
Deleted the grunt folder and ran
npm install -g grunt -cli
Didn't work.
Finally tried:
npm install -g grunt-cli
Worked perfectly.
Tried
where grunt
and I saw 2 locations where it was found.
I was facing the same problem on windows 8
I have added ' %APPDATA%\npm ' to the path variable . It has been working fine.
some times NPM install corrupts the basic windows path. i usually have a copy of my own version of PATH mainted separately. every week or on some installs i manually configure and update the %PATH% variable.
Basically Grunt.cmd is not availbe through %PATH% variable.
I have stucked with problem on Windows 8, that after install grunt-cli I've always got "command not found" while I'm tried to check grunt -v or where grunt. So I've added to enviroment PATH this path C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\local and run grunt.cmd from that folder (you need to look in node_modules folder here). And after reloading my terminal everything started to work.
Same happened to me and here was the solution:
Have you got 2 different versions of Node.JS installed?
Maybe Nodist?
This means you likely got NPM installed twice which will install the commands into 2 different folders:
Once into C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\npm and once into C:\dev\nodist\bin\bin.
C:\dev\nodist\bin\bin wasn't on my path variable so I added it, and I removed the Node.JS version I didn't want to use.
If you have no grunt.cmd file created by npm, make sure that you do not have a .npmrc in your home directory with: bin-links=false in it.
After getting a tonne of "'grunt' is not recognized as an internal or external command," errors, I solved this on Windows 10 by going to Path and adding C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\npm
I have installed the latest node.js from here . I see the %Path% variables have been set for Node.js. But, When i run node from C:\ , i get a "Node is not an recognized comman". But node command is working fine from "C:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs" path. Can i not run Node commands from C:\ or Say from an other path if i set the Env variables right? Please help. I am running a Win7 X64.
Thank You,

I had the exact same problem, but in my PATH variable I had: C:\Program Files\nodejs\.
After changing it to C:\Program Files\nodejs I could access it from anywhere.
What happens if you run node --version? I have never tried node.js from windows but if that doesn't work there is something wrong with your paths.
What do you get when you run echo %PATH%?
You should check if the path C:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs is present in your %PATH. If not, add it via the system properties (persistent change). In any case, restart your command prompt, it'll reload the %PATH variable. If you're lucky, it should work now :)
Most likely it happens because there is no Node path in your PATH environment variable.
I see two ways to solve this
Just add Node path into the end of PATH.
Reinstall Node as administrator
run 7-zip (or some file manager) with administrator privileges >>
browse to node-installer.msi >> open it, install node >> enjoy
My Sublime was working with Nodejs fine. I could press Alt-R and see the output from Node in Sublime. Then at some point I upgraded Sublime. I now have version 2.02 build 2221
And at some later point I tried Alt-R and got this infamous message
'node' is not recognized as an internal or external command
But it had worked, so what changed?
The steps I took to fix it were to install git bash and then
$ git clone https://github.com/tanepiper/SublimeText-Nodejs.git
$ cd SublimeText-Nodejs/
$ git checkout 095ba03344
Back in Sublime I clicked Preferences > Browse Packages. This opened up Windows Explorer with the folder:
C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 2\Packages
I replaced the contents of the Nodejs folder with the git version. Re-started Sublime and then Alt-R sprang back into life.
Other things that turned out to be irrelevant were changing the file Nodejs.sublime-settings and tampering with system environment variables. The only thing that worked was 095ba03344 as described here
