create-react-app, installation error ("command not found")
Your Node setup looks incorrect. It's not an issue with Create React App—it seems like you can't run any global Node commands.
It looks like ~/.node_modules_global/bin
is not in your PATH
environment variable so it can't execute global commands. That's just how Bash works—it can't guess where the command lies, you need to tell it. I would assume Node installation should do this by default but it depends on how you installed Node.
So make sure that directory is in your PATH
and try again. If you use Bash, add this to your .profile
and then restart the Terminal:
export PATH=$HOME/.node_modules_global/bin:$PATH
The environment variables are not set properly.When you run the create-react-app
it shows you a path along with the error. Copy that path and add it in the environment variable.
Alternatively you can use the command:
npx create-react-app <app_name>.
This will do the work for you.
