You can get npx now by installing [email protected] or later — or, if you don't want to use npm, you can install the standalone version of npx! It's totally compatible with other package managers, since any npm usage is only done for internal operations.
Run the following command to make sure you have NPX installed using which npx . If it's not installed, use npm install -g NPM@latest to update NPM to the higher version above 5.2 or later, and you will have the NPX CLI tool available.
Installation-less command execution There is another great feature of npx , which is allowing to run commands without first installing them. This is pretty useful, mostly because: you don't need to install anything. you can run different versions of the same command, using the syntax @version.
npx should come with npm 5.2+, and you have node 5.6 .. I found that when I install node using nvm for Windows, it doesn't download npx. so just install npx globally:
npm i -g npx
In Linux or Mac OS, if you found any permission related errors use sudo before it.
sudo npm i -g npx
if you are using Linux system, use sudo command
sudo npm i -g npx
Remove NodeJs and npm in your system and reinstall it with the following commands:
Uninstallation
sudo apt remove nodejs
sudo apt remove npm
Fresh Installation
sudo apt install nodejs
sudo apt install npm
Configuration optional, in some cases users may face permission errors.
user defined directory where npm will install packages
mkdir ~/.npm-global
configure npm
npm config set prefix '~/.npm-global'
add directory to path
echo 'export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.profile
refresh path for the current session
source ~/.profile
cross-check npm and node modules installed successfully in our system
node -v
npm -v
Installation of npx
sudo npm i -g npx
npx -v
Well done, we are ready to go. Now you can easily use npx anywhere in your system.
check versions of node, npm, npx as given below. if npx is not installed then use npm i -g npx
node -v
npm -v
npx -v
