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 have installed cygwin 64 bit, and have the path variable set up for its bin directory too. In command prompt "cygcheck -c cygwin" command also successfully displays
Cygwin Package Information
Package Version Status
cygwin 1.7.23-1 OK
But wen I start cygwin terminal it displays this
C:\PROGRA~2\RATIONAL\RATION~1\NUTCROOT\mksnt\sh.exe: No such file or directory
Also netbeans (7.3) does not automatically detect this compiler. What can be the problem here?
The path for /usr/bin/ should already be set when you install cygwin, so by resetting it you may have actually removed the correct path.
You can see your path like this:
echo $PATH
I'd first try to remove your custom path statement, and if that doesn't work, you may have to uninstall and reinstall.
I have a Perl program that someone else created and I am calling on with CruiseControl. The program calls on Unix Commands using Cygwin. However, everytime that the Perl program calls on a Unix like command with a DOS like address, I get the well known error:
cygwin warning:
MS-DOS style path detected: E:\regression
Preferred POSIX equivalent is: /cygdrive/e/regression
CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this warning.
Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths:
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#using-pathnames
I have set both the User Variable AND System Variable CYGWIN to nodosfilewarning. This removes the error when I run the program from the command line, but the error still occurs in CruiseControl when called as an automated process from a batch file. I have called on both the batch file from the Desktop AND Command Line and ran as an administrator. Nothing changes.
Other Notes
For purposes of this problem, I don't have access to the Perl Program
I am trying to go back to Cygwin 1.5.*, but since I am using Server 2008, I am encountering compatibility issues
This is occurring on one of the distributed servers, not the main server running the Webdashboard.
I have read somewhere that this issue may stem from a different user calling on CruiseControl, but the issue should have been solved by setting this as an ENV System variable
Is it possible to modify the registery to set the ENV variables?
Thank you in advance
The way I do it is like this
printf 'export CYGWIN=nodosfilewarning' >> ~/.bash_profile
If CruiseControl is connecting to the server via ssh, reinstall sshd and explicitly include nodosfilewarning when prompted for the CYGWIN environment variable during the install.
Re-installing with modified environment will work but if you don't want to or cannot re-install, an alternative is to change the registry instead of re-installing the service.

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,
Faraaz
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

I'm followint these instructions to install Kile+TexLive 2010 with package manager on my Ubuntu Maverick: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=141934
The problem I have is that when I finish downloading all the packages to my computer, I have to edit the path but Ubuntu doesn't recognize it. The lines are the following:
PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2005/bin/i386-linux:$PATH
export PATH
I run echo $PATH and as long as I don't close the terminal, the path appears with the echoing, but if I close it, the path disappears. Nevertheless (whether I close the terminal or not), I'm supposed to run texhash but I am told that the command is not found. I already tried editing the path by adding the two lines above to both .bashrc in my home directory and to bash.bashrc in /etc/ directory.
I'm just following the instructions linked above, but I'm a linux rookie. Could anyone help, please?
in order to permanently change any environment variable under Ubuntu/Linux, you must modify the files you mentioned (for example ~/.profile). If you simply issue an export via the terminal, its effect will end once the terminal is closed. Sometime it is needed to perform a logout/login for the changes to take effect.
Also, mind the syntax of what you write in the above mentioned file(s), like "'s around $PATH.
