Install and use nodemon locally

Question

I have install nodemon as dev-dependency.

I made a script "devserver": "./node_modules/nodemon/bin/nodemon.js index.js"

but when I run npm run devserver it is giving error '.' is not recognized as an internal or external command .

Please help.

Answer 1

Configure your your devserver script as following,

"devserver": "nodemon index.js"

Or

"devserver": "./node_modules/.bin/nodemon server.js"

nodemon will be recognized in current project, if its installed

Answer 2

Add "nodemon index.js" to your "start" script of package.json. Ex.

"scripts": { "start": "nodemon index.js" }

And then use "npm start" to start using nodemon

Answer 3

you want to serve index.js with nodemon so use nodemon at the start of command.

You dont have to trace the path of nodemon in node modules, after you install it in the project.

"devserver": "nodemon index.js"
