I'm on a Mac running El Capitan. I have node v5.6.0 and npm v3.6.0. When I try to run nodemon, I get:
-bash: nodemon: command not found I thought this may mean that I didn't have nodemon installed, so when I tried to install it using...
sudo npm install -g nodemon ...I get this:
npm ERR! Darwin 15.2.0 npm ERR! argv "/usr/local/bin/node" "/usr/local/bin/npm" "install" "-g" "nodemon" npm ERR! node v5.6.0 npm ERR! npm v3.6.0 npm ERR! path /usr/local/bin/nodemon npm ERR! code EEXIST npm ERR!

Move it away, and try again. npm ERR! Please include the following file with any support request: npm ERR! /Users/brianeoneill/npm-debug.log If it makes a difference, I'm trying to run nodemon on a project that uses Express v4.13.1
Thanks for any help you can offer!

Here's how I fixed it : When I installed nodemon using : npm install nodemon -g --save , my path for the global npm packages was not present in the PATH variable . If you just add it to the $PATH variable it will get fixed.
Use npx to solve the error "'nodemon' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file", e.g. npx nodemon server. js or install the package globally by running npm install -g nodemon and make sure your PATH environment variable is set up correctly.
I tried the following, and none worked:
npm uninstall nodemon sudo npm uninstall -g nodemon What did work was:
sudo npm install -g --force nodemon If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
