I use mac and I installed gatsby-cli by:
npm install --global gatsby-cli
and 'npm root -g' command prints:
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/lib/node_modules
npm successfully installed gatsby but, I cannot run gatsby command (gatsby --version, gatsby --help) Whenever I type and run "gatsby --version" it prints:
-bash: gatsby: command not found
Is there any way I can fix this problem??
you have to update your config. You may have to follow few steps
Set Config
remove existing config
npm config delete prefix
set new config
npm config set prefix /usr/local
Install gatsby
npm i -g gatsby-cli
now check version
gatsby --version
Instead of trying to install globally, you can use npx
npx gatsby new my_dir_name
Then run:
npx gatsby develop
Then:
npx gatsby build
And then you can run them using
npm run develop npm run build
I came across the same issue. npx gatsby -v worked. Hope this helps somebody.
