express command not found in bash after installing it with npm


bash node.js express npm

Starting from express 4.00 you also need to install express generator with: 

npm install -g express-generator

Only after this will you be able to run express as a command!

For confirmation see: ExpressJS.com - Migrating to Express 4

bash node.js express npm

npm install express -g

You need to install it globally.

Npm 1.0 installs modules locally by default. So the bash executable lives in /node_modules/bin/. You can add that folder to PATH or you can just install express globally so that it's picked up by PATH

bash node.js express npm

I had this problem and was installing node via Homebrew. The problem was being caused by Homebrew.

So I did:

brew uninstall node

and then installed node using the installer on the nodejs.org site.

Then I ran:

npm install -g express

And voila no problems.
