C:\Users\touha\Desktop>npm list -g --depth=0
C:\Users\touha\.npm-packages
`-- @vue/[email protected]


C:\Users\touha\Desktop>vue ui
'vue' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

C:\Users\touha\Desktop>

Answer 1

just open PowerShell and run: npm install -g @vue/cli

Answer 2

Addition: If setting the path variable and reinstalling @vue/cli does not work, using the node.js command prompt instead might solve the issue.

Answer 3

Locate vue.cmd and add its location to your PATH

It is added to package manager(npm or yarn) installation. So you may find it at following locations

YARN

C:\Users{YourAccount}\AppData\Local\Yarn\bin

NPM

C:\Users{YourAccount}\AppData\Roaming\npm

Answer 4

It seems vue isn't been installed globally for some reasons. This is the step I followed to solve mine:

Firstly, create your desired project folder (say "Vue Project"). This is where you want to create a vue project.

Then create a "node_modules" folder in the Vue Project folder

Then go to your system npm folder C:\Users{YourAccount}\AppData\Roaming\npm

You will see three different "vue" files. Copy them and paste in the Vue Project Folder you created.

Go back to C:\Users{YourAccount}\AppData\Roaming\npm and enter the node_modules folder. You'll see a "@vue" folder. Copy this, and paste it in the node_modules folder you created in the Vue Project Folder.

You can now head back to the CLI and create your project using "vue create my-vue-project" where my-vue-project is your desired vue project name.
