How to fix 'rimraf is not a recognized command' in Windows 10


I had to manually run npm install to make it work.

open command line (e.g. from Visual Studio: Tools -> Command Line -> Developer Command Prompt)

go to ClientApp (cd ClientApp) folder of your project and type:

npm install


install:

npm install rimraf --save-dev

set your custom command in package.json:

"scripts": {  "build": "node_modules/.bin/rimraf build && tsc",  "start": "node build/index.js"}

Use it

npm run build


I finally got rid of this error by installing rimraf globally

npm install rimraf -g
