serverless: command not found in ubuntu 16.04

Question

I am trying to set up the AWS Serverless framework in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I installed Node.js and have also installed Serverless using the following command: npm install -g serverless in the terminal. But when I try to run serverless it returns an error saying serverless: command not found. Below is a screenshot for reference:

Answer 1

Try running,

npm config set prefix /usr/local

and then,

npm i -g serverless

Answer 2

Was getting the same error serverless: command not found but instead of NPM was using YARN. To fix it had to execute (or better add to your ~/.bash_profile):

export PATH="$PATH:$(yarn global bin)"

then, if not already installed:

yarn global add serverless
