I want to keep my node server alive. Therefore I use pm2 but if I try to start my server with
pm2 start index.js
I get the message:
pm2: command not found
So, I wanted to ask how to use local pm2 in node_modules directory without installing pm2 globally.
Do I have to register pm2 in my index.js?
Can anyone provide some information about the command to start a server via pm2 which is locally installed?
Actually you can install it as a local project dependency and then run it directly with the path inside node_modules: node ./node_modules/pm2/bin/pm2 start
That way you can use it in a npm script for example.
I use this for a project that needs to run offline, bundling everything in the CI and running it locally then.
However as of lately I get some problems with the deamon starting under Windows that way. Not yet sure if it is a Windows problem or a problem with starting pm2 this way (as the globally installed version still works properly).
If you are on AWS EC2 instance you can run the command from this path:
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\npm\pm2 start C:\project\app.js
In my case pm2 was installed but the err was pm2 npt found
so i ran pm2 command from that path and i worked
