bash: command not found: node

Error message

bash: command not found: node

What broke

'node' is not found in the system's PATH, which means the shell cannot locate the Node.js executable. This typically occurs when Node.js is not installed or the installation path is not included in the system's PATH environment variable.

Why it broke

The root cause is either that Node.js is not installed on your system or the installation directory is not correctly set in the PATH variable. Without the correct path, the shell cannot execute the 'node' command.

How to fix

To fix this, first ensure that Node.js is installed on your system. If it is installed, check your PATH variable to include the directory where Node.js is located. You can do this by adding the installation path to your shell configuration file (like .bashrc or .bash_profile).

Code fix

export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/node
