Mac - bash: node: command not found
I am having problems launching node.js from terminal.
I ran the node.js installer for mac, but when I try to use the node command in the terminal, I get the following error:
-bash: node: command not found
I am trying to find a solution but all the suggestions I have found do not help
In the / usr / local / bin folder, I have node and npm, but even when I go to the folder and run node, I still get the same error. I don't understand why this is happening, because I can see that node exists in the folder.
I also tried to edit the .bash_profile file by adding / usr / local / bin, but that didn't solve the problem either
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! TIA!
Try to install node with homebrew - brew install npm
should do that
If you've already installed node and still doesn't work, try running brew link node
. You can create a force link if an error occurs while creating the link.brew link --overwrite node
I found the cause of the problem.
I edited the .bash_profile file to add the JAVA path, but I didn't end it with a colon (:), so it ended up concatenating the JAVA path with / usr / local / bin
As soon as I added the colon everything started working
