I am trying to install node.js. I followed this tutorial and i am stuck in the middle.
When I write ./configure in my cygwin terminal it says "cygwin not supported". Please help me out
Thanks in advance.
Node in my experience runs fine in cygwin, what Node usually has EINVAL errors in seems to be MINTTY which is a terminal emulation 'skin' that is default to cygwin. I still am not sure why these EINVAL errors happen 100% but the following are the steps and tricks I use to get node working.
In my /cygwin/home/{username}/.bashrc I add node to path so cygwin can find it
export PATH=$PATH:"/cygdrive/c/Program Files/nodejs/"
If you run a 32 bit version of node:
export PATH=$PATH:"/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/nodejs/"
Then to make npm run without windows to linux issues I launch cygwin in admin mode then run:
dos2unix '/cygdrive/c/Program Files/nodejs/npm'
At this point running files and most npm packages will run in MINTTY just fine, although every once and awhile you will run into EINVAL issues with certain npm packages as karma. Also you will not be able to run the interpreter directly in MINTTY, anytime I want to do these things I run:
cygstart /bin/bash
This will open a native cygwin bash.exe window, from here you run the interpreter or an any troubling package command that results in a EINVAL. It slightly sucks you have to do this but I rarely use this day to day, and I love MINTTY too much to not use it.
Also note that you can run any one line node code in MINTTY by just running something like:
node -e "console.log('hello node')"
As a simpler derivative of troy's answer for those just looking to install NPM packages:
Install Node.js with the Windows installer package.
Add it to the PATH with export PATH=$PATH:"/cygdrive/c/Program Files/nodejs/" (obviously replacing the path to Node.js's installation directory with where you installed it).
There's a current bug in the Windows version that can be fixed by running mkdir -p ~/AppData/Roaming/npm. This is a bug for all of Windows and not just Cygwin. At some point of the future, you won't have to do this anymore, but the command shouldn't have any negative side effects.
Test it. Eg, npm install pretty-diff -g.
In order to be able to run the newly installed software, you'll need to add the install locations to your PATH. You can find these with npm bin -g and npm bin (the -g flag is the "global" installation location).
Not really anything special that you have to do to get it to run in Cygwin (although I can't say if everything works).
Use Console2, it allows you to run create tabs of CLI shells. It seems running cygwin inside console2 allows me to use node REPL just fine. I have no idea why :P
Follow this guide to add cygwin to console2:
http://blog.msbbc.co.uk/2009/11/configuring-console-2-and-bash-with.html
With Bjørn's suggestion (using Console2) and Soyuka's alias (steps here), my node.js v0.10.13 and npm v1.3.2 are now working under Babun v1.02, a Cygwin distribution.
For windows, Just run bash.exe in cmd, so that you could have a bash work around with cmd console directly, which could support ALL NODE WORKING PERFECTLY.
C:\Users\郷>bash
郷#CHIGIX ~
$ node
>
I'm using this wrapper in /usr/local/bin/node (note no extension!)
#!/bin/sh
_cmd="$(cygpath -lw -- "$1" )"
shift
"/proc/cygdrive/C/Program Files/nodejs/node.exe" "$_cmd" "$#"
This is far from perfect, as Node do not understand Cygwin directory tree, but works relatively well with relative names.
From Windows, run Cygwin.bat (instead of Cygwin Terminal) then in that run node: see and reply on this answer on this effectively-same question asked 1.5 years later.
Grab and run the node.js Windows installer.
In the Cygwin prompt type node
See if it works.

I am failing to start npm serve at Run/Debug Configuration in IntelliJ.
But doing it separately in Terminal within IntelliJ or on plain console works.
What's going on? How to solve that?
Here's what the Run console shows:
/usr/local/bin/node /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js run serve --scripts-prepend-node-path=auto
> pwdstorage#0.1.0 serve
> node_modules/.bin/vue-cli-service serve
env: node: No such file or directory
Process finished with exit code 127
As mentioned before running the command
/usr/local/bin/node /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js run serve --scripts-prepend-node-path=auto
on a terminal will properly work; even in IntelliJ.
At IntelliJ/Preferences.../Languages & Frameworks/Node.js and NPM the Node interpreter is set to /usr/local/bin/node and the Package manager is set to /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm They both do exist.
What the frag is going on?
I would love to get a deeper understanding of the whole thing and do appreciate any inseide views on this.
The issue is that node is not on your $PATH; on MacOSX the environment variables differ between GUI applications and within the terminal. Terminal environment is only available to applications started from terminal.
To solve this problem, IDEA tries to load terminal environment by executing some scripts on startup, but it seems that it can't retrieve all needed stuff in your case - thus the issue. As a workaround, you can try starting IDEA from terminal.
Some links you may find useful: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/106355/setting-the-system-wide-path-environment-variable-in-mavericks, http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/51677/how-to-set-path-for-finder-launched-applications.. The problem is that the way to define system-wide environment variables on Mac changes from one version to another (even minor system updates may break your environment)
As lena answered, it did help. Thank you for your help!
Starting it from the terminal does the job.
In my case I build a starter script
#! /bin/bash
/Applications/IntelliJ\ IDEA.app/Contents/MacOS/idea &
I am running the ultimate version of IntelliJ. The CE version does have another path to start!
The next two nice things to have would be
to have the opened terminal window automatically closed
link it with a proper icon placed on the desktop.
If anyone can help, go ahead!-)
I have Node.js + NPM installed; I can run node -v in my console and get back the current version.
I have also tried using NVM Windows as a Node.js version manager and can run both node -v and npm -v there as well.
HOWEVER, when trying to use another framework like Gulp or Ionic or whatever, I keep getting the error:
'node' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
node is obviously a cmdlet as I can run node -v.. but somehow my other frameworks are no longer able to find it.
Path is correct and everything looks good.
What am I missing here?
The program ConEmu for windows terminal management wasn't pulling or allowing programs to access the paths through subcalls or something it seems. I tested with CMD and Powershell respectively and both worked as expected.
I couldn't get ConEmu to seemingly pass these path to subroutines.. so I uninstalled it and found an alternative called Cmder that is built on ConEmu and it was able to pick them up just fine.
I don't know specifically if it was just a setting in ConEmu I couldn't find or if I needed to manually add these--but happy knowing Cmder just does it automatically.
Please tell me how i can solve it. Iam using window 7 32 bit:
By default, Visual Studio Code runs shell commands like npm in a loginless shell. If you installed NVM, Visual Studio Code may have no indication where to find npm to run it.
Put the following lines are in .bash_profile: (Note: Not .bashrc.)
export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" # This loads nvm bash_completion
Add this setting to settings.json:
"terminal.integrated.shellArgs.linux": ["-l"]
On Mac OS , I switched to the zsh and got this fixed. These following steps fixed the issue :
On your VsCode in Mac : shift + command + P .
On the Prompt > type : Terminal: Select Default Profile , then "Click it". Note, as you type you will find this option in the auto-complete .
Click the option for zsh or your desired shell.
Restart VSCode .
now npm will work in your vscode terminal.
I too had this issue.
To solve this follow the below steps.
Make sure you have npm installed
- go to command prompt & type npm -v
- if a version comes out it's installed, else go to https://nodejs.org/en/ and download same.
Then come to vs code and set deafult shell to cmd.
to do so,
- Press Ctrl+Shift+P and type Select Default Shell
- Select Command Prompt.
- Press Ctrl+`
- Type npm -v and see npm works. :)
I got this error after having just installed nodejs/npm, and the way i resolved, while still being able to use git bash terminal in vscode was to simply restart my computer (I hadn't done this after node installation).
I needed to kill the terminal in VS Code and restart a new terminal to get npm to show as installed.
As you're aware, you can configure your environment variables in windows at 2 levels.
At user level
At system level
When VS code is started, it picks the variables in path at a user level and not at system level because you haven't run the application as Administrator.
Just copy-paste your node path from System Variables to User Variables
This does the trick for windows.
Thanks.
If you just installed your node while your VScode was running. Restart your vscode it should start working.
You need to install npm first, https://www.npmjs.com/get-npm and make sure npm command is accessible using terminal/command prompt.
You can also use https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=eg2.vscode-npm-script This extension supports running npm scripts defined in the package.json file and validating the installed modules against the dependencies defined in the package.json.
On mac, I switched the default shell from bash to zsh and it fixed the issue.
I'm gonna add an answer just for help others because this question is 2 years old.
If you can run the npm start (NPM SCRIPTS below the Explorer view) but you are not able to launch the command with a shortcut: Then check npm extension is installed and/or enabled for the current workspace/folder.
Otherwise vsCode will not be able to run the script and you're going to get a message in a little box like this
command 'npm-script.start' not found
Maybe the NPM Scripts View below the explorer is not available without the plugin I'm not sure
For me, restarting VS code and even my PC didn't work, but after restarting VS code via "reload" (not restart, not refresh) from ctrl+shift+P, then in the top right of the terminal clicking the leftmost button and clicking "kill terminal" then restarting VS code it worked.
I had this issue too and I'm running QubesOS which uses virtualization.
I could manage to get it running until I'd a standalone VM.
That solved my problem.
Just mentioning for the ppl using virtualization like virtual box or VMware.
In WebStorm to get karma.conf running I need to configure it in a pop up window and enter the "path to the node.js interpreter".
(for some reason this information vanished after a restart)
Questions:
What is the path to the needed file?
Where is the node interpreter on Mac/Linux/Windows by default?
(I am on OS X)
Generally, on OSX and Linux, you can find any program with which program. In your case, type
which node
in terminal.
On windows command prompt
where node
On OSX if you've installed Node.js with brew:
/usr/local/bin/node
You can check the exact folder on your machine with the command which node
Important
When the finder opens on OSX, you won't be able to navigate to this path initially. You'll first need to navigate to the root folder e.g. Macintosh HD and then perform the keyboard shortcut Command + Shift + . (. = dot = period) to be able to select hidden files and folders.
Ubuntu:
sudo apt install nodejs
whereis nodejs
nodejs: /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/lib/nodejs /usr/include/nodejs /usr/share/nodejs /usr/share/man/man1/nodejs.1.gz
Configuring NodeJS Intepreter in IntelliJ:
File | Settings | Languages & Frameworks | Node.js and NPM
Node interpreter: Add... (select from the above path or add it)
/usr/bin/nodejs
Then, click on Enable button and select the modules.
On OSX:
/usr/local/bin/node
well I got it by myself, but wanted to share the answer, as I couldn't find it on google / stack overflow and hope to save somebody some time
This can be useful for someone. I tried all the previous methods on Linux Ubuntu 19.10, none worked, neither reinstalling nodejs. So I installed Webstorm via snap, with:
sudo snap install webstorm
sudo snap install webstorm --classic
And surprise, Nodejs was already configured in this version. Then I erased the webstorm version that I installed from Ubuntu Softwared.
That worked for me and was easy. Hope that can give you a clue.
I have a question about usage of Nodejs.
I installed it on Win7 and run (green Node.js icon) it, but when I tried to run "npm install" command it dodn't work. I had to move to Nodejs command prompt where npm is working.
Is that how it supposed to work?
Once you install NodeJS under Windows, it goes into the global PATH, meaning that it is available in the usual Windows command prompt. So, just open one by pressing:
Windows+R
Type cmd and press Enter
Then type node -v. You should be able to see an appropriate response.
Add your AppData\Roaming\npm and Program Files\nodejs folder to your path.
Also have a look at this:
Node.js doesn't recognize system path?
Second answer helped me to add my Roaming folder.
