How to fix "create-react-app: command not found"
And there I go. Creating a simple app with react-create-app
to test some nice tool, running react-create-app my-nice-app
and boom!
-bash: gulp: command not found
The problem
This happen because npm
was installed in the wrong directory. The sadness 😞
If you look for the global install location, probably you will find it into /Users/USERNAME/node_modules
. You can check this by running npm root
or npm root -g
.
The solution
To fix it you need to change npm config prefix
by running:
npm config set prefix /usr/local
Then reinstall react-create-app
npm i -g react-create-app
Now you can run create-react-app my-nice-app
and be happy 😝
