PM2 command not found

Question

I installed node.js and npm to my centOS 7 server. But i have problems with pm2. Actually real problem is i don't have experiences in linux and i don't know how to change path. Here is folder structure.

* bin * code * error_docs * httpdocs * lib64 * logs * tmp * var * chat(my node.js folder)     * node_modules         * pm2         * sockjs     * server.js * dev * etc * lib * local * sbin * usr 

I entered folder by typing cd chat and installed pm2 with npm install pm2.

After that I tried use pm2 for my server.js by typing pm2 server.js server returns "pm2 command not found". I can use node.js without any problem but pm2 not working.

How can i solve this?

Answer 1

Install PM2 globally:

run as root:

npm i -g pm2 

or if user is sudo-er

sudo npm i -g pm2 

and then go back to user (or stay in root if it was created by root user) and run it:

pm2 start server.js
