I use NVM on my Mac (10.11.6) to manage different nodeJS version.
But today, when I run
nvm use 4.8
Now using node v4.8.4 (npm v2.15.11)
node -v
-bash: nodejs: command not found
I just reinstall NVM like that : http://dev.topheman.com/install-nvm-with-homebrew-to-use-multiple-versions-of-node-and-iojs-easily/
but same error: nodejs: command not found. I tried in root, with a reboot but always the same error.
Does anyone had the same problem ?
Thanks.
Try to find and remove line alias node=nodejs in ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile
You can refer this link to install NodeJS using NVM. Make sure that you have not missed any step. Also, try the command "locate .nvm" to look for the NVM configuration files.
Run nvm alias default NODE_VERSION. Put your version in place of NODE_VERSION.
For Example nvm alias default 14 or nvm alias default 14.19.3.

I have screwed up the installation of node on my computer over the course of a few months by deleting using rm and reinstalling with brew. I recently managed to fix the 'node' command such that 'node -v' works fine.
However, the command 'npm' is not found. Additionally, every time I open a terminal I get the following text:
Last login: Sun Dec 19 22:33:22 on ttys002
N/A: version "N/A -> N/A" is not yet installed.
You need to run "nvm install N/A" to install it before using it.
The default interactive shell is now zsh.
This leads me to believe that I have some issue with my bashrc file.
Does anyone have any idea what steps I can take to resolve this issue, or if it would be a better option to simply factory restore my computer?
Use nvm to install any version of node and npm (e.g: v16.13.1).
type nvm alias default v16.13.1 in your terminal and then type nvm use default
I am on a MacOS, and I switched from Homebrew Node to NVM, and removed Node from Homebrew but then a lot of my previous packages cannot find Node anymore (Sublime, Heroku etc)...so I have to manually update the location of Node to these packages.
Where is Node while using NVM?
You can get the path to the executable to where node was installed with
nvm which node
Or any of the other NVM special aliases for node versions such as
nvm which default
NVM should set PATH variable to your node installation directory, it does this automatically after:
nvm current use `nvm current`
You can check variables like this:
env | grep NVM
Here is my output:
NVM_DIR=/Users/name/.nvm
NVM_CD_FLAGS=-q
NVM_NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR=https://nodejs.org/dist
NVM_IOJS_ORG_MIRROR=https://iojs.org/dist
NVM_PATH=/Users/name/.nvm/versions/node/v5.9.0/lib/node
NVM_BIN=/Users/name/.nvm/versions/node/v5.9.0/bin
You can locate your node by running which node or command -v node
nvm root command gives us path of the node exe
Trying all the answers in 2023, nothing works:
nvm which node
nvm: Unknown command or option: "which" (see nvm -h for usage)
env|grep NVM
nvm root
nvm: Unknown command or option: "root" (see nvm -h for usage)
And finally!
env|grep nvm
nvm_current_version=v19.6.0
PATH=~/.local/share/nvm/v19.6.0/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
So I guess currently NVM keeps node in ~/.local/share/nvm
I'm searching it in google on how to show the version of node js or how I'm gonna work with npm?
If I do this
npm -v
even I already install it using brew install node. The result is always
env: node: No such file or directory
I already do a lot of command to solve for it, but failed.
these are the command that I already try:
sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/node /usr/bin/node
brew unlink node
brew link node
I can't start the task because of this. help me guys. This work before after I used this command brew link --overwrite node. Now I have problem, i cant work anymore with npm. I'm really new about this. I don't have any idea now on how to fix this.
Update
I already get the list using npm list command. I also get the idea here link but when I npm install inside the project. I alwayst get this "result env: node: No such file or directory",even I command npm -v but If i command it outside my project. It work the npm -v
I solved it this way:
$ brew uninstall --force node
$ brew uninstall --force npm
after it
$ brew install node
which suggested me to overwrite simlinks
Error: The `brew link` step did not complete successfully
The formula built, but is not symlinked into /usr/local
Could not symlink share/doc/node/gdbinit
Target /usr/local/share/doc/node/gdbinit
already exists. You may want to remove it:
rm '/usr/local/share/doc/node/gdbinit'
To force the link and overwrite all conflicting files:
brew link --overwrite node
after executing
$ brew link --overwrite node
everything worked again.
NOTE: Only mac users!
uninstall node completely with the commands
curl -ksO https://gist.githubusercontent.com/nicerobot/2697848/raw/uninstall-node.sh
chmod +x ./uninstall-node.sh
./uninstall-node.sh
rm uninstall-node.sh
Or you could check out this website: How do I completely uninstall Node.js, and reinstall from beginning (Mac OS X)
if this doesn't work, you need to remove node via control panel or any other method. As long as it gets removed.
Install node via this website: https://nodejs.org/en/download/
If you use nvm, you can use:
nvm install node
You can already check if it works, then you don't need to take the following steps with: npm -v and then node -v
if you have nvm installed:
command -v nvm
Uninstall npm using the following command:
sudo npm uninstall npm -g
Or, if that fails, get the npm source code, and do:
sudo make uninstall
If you have nvm installed, then use: nvm uninstall npm
Install npm using the following command: npm install -g grunt
I was getting this env: node: No such file or directory error when running the job through Jenkins.
What I did to fix it - added export PATH="$PATH:"/usr/local/bin/ at the beginning of the script that Jenkins job executes.
If you're switching from bash to oh my zsh, you will need to add nvm's path into the zshrc file.
#Zgpeace's answer here helped solve my issue (on IOS):
Open the .zshrc file. I used nano: nano ~/.zshrc
Add this into the file: export NVM_DIR=~/.nvm
Save changes by typing Ctrl+X --> Yes.
Reload the configuration. Type source $(brew --prefix nvm)/nvm.sh
Test by typing nvm --version.
You'll now be able to see the version. For e.g: 0.37.2
Thanks to this forum.
Sharing my notes below.
macOS Monterey
version 12.2.1
Chip Apple M1
$ brew uninstall --force node
$ brew uninstall --force npm
$ brew install node
$ brew link --overwrite node
$ brew doctor
$ brew cleanup
$ nvm --version
// 0.35.3
$ nvm use stable
// Now using node v17.6.0 (npm v8.5.1)
$ node -v
// v17.6.0
$ npm -v
// 8.5.1
I got such a problem after I upgraded my node version with brew. To fix the problem
1)run $brew doctor to check out if it is successfully installed or not
2) In case you missed clearing any node-related file before, such error log might pop up:
Warning: You have unlinked kegs in your Cellar
Leaving kegs unlinked can lead to build-trouble and cause brews that depend on
those kegs to fail to run properly once built.
node
3) Now you are recommended to run brew link command to delete the original node-related files and overwrite new files - $ brew link node.
And that's it - everything works again !!!
It was nvm changing paths for me, this fixed it:
nvm use stable
I re-installed node through this link and it fixed it.
I think the issue was that I somehow got node to be in my /usr/bin instead of /usr/local/bin.
Let's see, I sorted that on a different way. in my case I had as path something like ~/.local/bin which seems that it is not the way it wants.
Try to use the full path, like /Users/tobias/.local/bin, I mean, change the PATH variable from ~/.local/bin to /Users/tobias/.local/bin or $HOME/.local/bin .
Now it works. 🙀🙀🙀
I get this error running npm start through PyCharm on Mac. For that the answer is to start PyCharm from the Terminal with open -a '/Applications/PyCharm.app/'. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/34017083/733092.
For Pycharm Professional, starting from the command line is different. Get the JetBrains Toolbox app, go to Settings, Generate Shell Script, and it will create a ~/pycharm_shell_scripts for you to run.
Working on MacOSx, maven exec not willing to execute a shell script that I could manually execute with desired result. Gave me the same error, solved it as well with
export PATH="$PATH:"/usr/local/bin/ at the beginning of the script
For mac user using the package manager homebrew:
-brew uninstall node
-brew uninstall npm
-brew doctor
-brew link node
-node -v (to check node version)
That's all you need.
For me, this error occurred when I tried to install a package with sudo npm. This fixed it:
sudo env PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/bin/" npm <rest of command>
I was using fish shell and encountered this problem on my m1 macbook air.
install nvm omf install nvm
add nvm to path by creating this file ~/.config/fish/functions/nvm.fish
I use vim so vim ~/.config/fish/functions/nvm.fish
function nvm
bass source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh --no-use ';' nvm $argv
end
install node again nvm install node
It worked for me after that, :) hopefully it does for you too

If you just installed/modified node and if intellij/webstorm or your shell is throwing this error, it's because it has not sourced the environment variables, try restarting the IDE/shell.
I also face this issue on mac. I had installed node using brew. I was able to resolve the issue by following these steps:
uninstall node using the command: brew uninstall --force node
uninstall npm using the command: brew uninstall --force npm
Then install node using the installer provided on the following link: https://nodejs.org/en/download/
Just did an update on my Mac OS which switched my .bash to /zshrc. Here is what I added to my ~/.zshrc file:
export NVM_DIR="/Users/< my name >/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # this loads nvm
Then I did a $ source ~/.zshrc and it refreshed those values.
Double checked my work with nvm --version and it was all good.
just run cmd:
% npm
before
% npx install-peerdeps --dev eslint-config-airbnb
on Mac m1 pro
Kept getting this error, found it it's because NVM wasn't using any version of node. I didn't set this but after using these commands it seemed to fix the error
nvm install lts/*
nvm use lts/*
I am trying to downgrade my version of node
I ran:
npm install nvm
and I exported the bin folder to my Windows path variable,
C:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs\node_modules\npm\bin
but I still get:
'nvm' is not recognized as a an internal or external command.
Should I be adding another path to my path variable?
nvm was designed for Linux. nvmw, which is completely different, broke around node v0.10.30. Try NVM for Windows.
NVM can be used to manage various node version :
Step1: Download
NVM for Windows
Step2: Choose nvm-setup.zip
Step3: Unzip & click on installer.
Step4: Check if nvm properly installed, In new command prompt type nvm
Step5: Install node js using nvm :
nvm install <version> : The version can be a node.js version or "latest" for the latest stable version
Step6: check node version - node -v
Step7(Optional)If you want to install another version of node js - Use STEP 5 with different version.
Step8: Check list node js version - nvm list
Step9: If you want to use specific node version do - nvm use <version>
NVM Installation & usage on Windows
Below are the steps for NVM Installation on Windows:
NVM stands for node version manager, which will help to switch between node versions while also allowing to work with multiple npm versions.
Install nvm setup.
Use command nvm list to check list of installed node versions.
Example: Type nvm use 6.9.3 to switch versions.
For more info
As an node manager alternative you can use Volta from LinkedIn.
I created a universal nvm that works on both Unix (bash) and Windows, base on another simple nvm.
It doesn't need admin on Windows, but requires PowerShell 4+ and the right to execute scripts.
https://www.npmjs.com/package/#jchip/nvm#installation
The first thing that we need to do is install NVM.
Uninstall existing version of node since we won’t be using it anymore
Delete any existing nodejs installation directories. e.g. “C:\Program Files\nodejs”) that might remain. NVM’s generated symlink will not overwrite an existing (even empty) installation directory.
Delete the npm install directory at C:\Users[Your User]\AppData\Roaming\npm
We are now ready to install nvm. Download the installer from https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm/releases
To upgrade, run the new installer. It will safely overwrite the files it needs to update without touching your node.js installations. Make sure you use the same installation and symlink folder. If you originally installed to the default locations, you just need to click “next” on each window until it finishes.

I will list two ways. You can choose one Whichever works for you.
1. Using installer
Download nvm-setup.zip and unzip the file and install it, keeping the configurations default.
1. Use curl
Copy the below command and run it in your terminal
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.37.2/install.sh | bash
After this reopen/open terminal and check the nvm version runing below command.
nvm -v
And that's it.
If someone is looking for install on Window 11! Not directly relevant here, but might be useful.
It is immaterial if you install NVM (version 1.1.9.) say after the node (16.15.1) is already installed. During the nvm installation process, it asks for the right to manage the existing node version and symlinks that.
Get the version from the GitHub repo, I opted for the zip version.
https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows/releases
Double click the application and it is just a few steps.
1.downlad nvm
2.install chocolatey
3.change C:\Program Files\node to C:\Program Files\nodejsx

So this answer is for windows users that are using git bash or some other console emulator like cmder ... if you're using CMD this solution will not work for you also why? why are you still using CMD?
I know this is a pretty old post but I just achieved this yesterday and wanted to add my answer for anyone looking to do the same.
First check if you have .bashrc profile in your home directory by typing ls -alh ~ (by default this doesn't exist)
if it doesn't exist type this command to generate a .bashrc profile with default values in it cat /etc/bash.bashrc > ~/.bashrc (if it does exist skip this step)
Download and run the nvm install script as provided in the nvm docs page curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash (make sure you do this in your home directory)
then edit the new generated .bashrc profile file you created above; use nano/vim to do that nano ~/.bashrc and add the following to the bottom of the file export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm" [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm and save your .bashrc file with the changes.
lastly source your .bashrc file by typing source ~/.bashrc
verify installation nvm --version
and now you have nvm installed and you can use the commands as per https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm#usage
First off, I use nvm on linux machine.
When looking at the documentation for nvm at https://www.npmjs.org/package/nvm, it recommendations that you install nvm globally using the -g switch.
npm install -g nvm
Also there is a . in the path variable that they recommend.
export PATH=./node_modules/.bin:$PATH
so maybe your path should be
C:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs\node_modules\npm\\.bin
An alternative to nvm-windows, which is mentioned in other answers would be Nodist.
I've had some issues with nvm-windows and admin privileges, which Nodist doesn't seem to have.
I know I'm late here but this may help in the future if someone looking for NVM to install in Windows or linux
run this command in cmd
$ curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.38.0/install.sh | bash
Short question
How can I get nvm to work with tmux?
Path Problems
As MarkHu surmised in his answer, the problem is related to the PATH. Below is a comparison of the path in bash before entering tmux and after starting tmux. (I replaced each : in the path with a line break to make it easier to compare.)
Now I'm curious as to:
Why are /usr/local/sbin and /Users/matthew/bin are duplicated in the path?
Why did /Users/matthew/.nvm/v0.11.5/bin along with /usr/local/sbin and /Users/matthew/bin get moved to the end of the path?
Background
I'm running OS X 10.8.4 Mountain Lion. I installed tmux v1.8 and Node.js using:
brew install tmux
brew install node
I then decided I wanted to manage multiple node version, so I installed nvm using:
curl https://raw.github.com/creationix/nvm/master/install.sh | sh
If I'm not in a tmux session, nvm appears to work correctly. When I start a tmux session though, it finds the Node.js installed by Homebrew instead of using the nvm version. Any thoughts on how to get nvm to work with tmux?
$ which node
/Users/matthew/.nvm/v0.11.5/bin/node
$ tmux
$ which node
/usr/local/bin/node
$ nvm use v0.11.5
Now using node v0.11.5
$ which node
/usr/local/bin/node
I just run:
nvm deactivate
nvm use x.x
That seems to work. You can script out the needed version depending on the project you're working on.
Check your $PATH environment var before and after.
There is a difference between setting it in ~/.bash_profile and ~/.bashrc depending on how you have those configured.
Also, you may want to read https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/15453/using-environment-variables-in-tmux-conf-files if you think other node.js-related vars may need to be set.
