Nodejs custom npm package "bin" command not found

Question

I created a simple app for youtube channels management locally, it work fine when i run it on my environment, but when I want to check it globally it not working.

I tried first locally linking, then checking it like this sudo npm link, It link everything correctly but then when tried to use my command of my package it didn't work.

I also publish it to npm, but still not worked. I removed the package-lock.json & node_modules by typing:

rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json

and then reinstall it, but still not working.

Help me please. I just want to use run command for starting my application/pkg

This is my Package.json file:

Ooh I FIND OUT, how to get rid off this point, basically we will need to make the entry point executable by tying :

chmod +x ./src/index.js
npm link
run
