When I check the version of Node, it says
v8.0.0
but when I check the version of NPM, it says
bash: npm: command not found
Previously, my action was
npm install -g "@angular/cli"
That's when it consistently shows the npm: command not found message.
I tried searching for possible solutions but none worked like the brew and others.
The npm file should be in /usr/local/bin/npm. If it's not there, install node.js again with the package on their website. This worked in my case.
I have understand your problem, you have installed node and as well as you can install node legacy and npm. follow below commands you will easily solve
sudo apt-get remove npm, sudo apt-get remove nodejs-legacy, sudo apt-get remove nodejs , sudo rm /usr/bin/node , sudo apt-get install nodejs , sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy , sudo apt-get install npm.
Solved with this:
npm config set prefix /usr/local
I had the same problem in Webstorm terminal in Windows 10 (but it worked in CMD and Powershell) when using NVM.
$ npm
bash: npm: command not found
I installed a new Node version (I think that will works too even if you are not using NVM) and used it. And NPM was available again
$ nvm install 8.11.2
$ npm use 8.11.2
$ npm -v
5.6.0
Hope it helps.
I think your laptop have password. so, to install npm you have to run : sudo npm install and then enter your laptop password
