NOTE: This solution is applicable only when you are using an NVM to manage node.js versions

The issue is because of the missing symbolic link for the node and the pm2, here are the commands that you can use to create a symbolic link:

sudo ln -s "$NVM_DIR/versions/node/$(nvm version)/bin/node" "/usr/local/bin/node"

sudo ln -s "$NVM_DIR/versions/node/$(nvm version)/bin/npm" "/usr/local/bin/npm"

sudo ln -s "$NVM_DIR/versions/node/$(nvm version)/bin/pm2" "/usr/local/bin/pm2"
