serverless: command not found in ubuntu 16.04

I am trying to set up the AWS Serverless framework in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I installed Node.js and have also installed Serverless using the following command: npm install -g serverless in the terminal. But when I try to run serverless it returns an error saying serverless: command not found. Below is a screenshot for reference:

If the above options are not working (due to insufficient access or sudo access), following one will definitely work as it's saving the serverless into your local.

npm install serverless --save-dev
node ./node_modules/serverless/bin/serverless deploy

Was getting the same error serverless: command not found but instead of NPM was using YARN. To fix it had to execute (or better add to your ~/.bash_profile):

export PATH="$PATH:$(yarn global bin)"

then, if not already installed:

yarn global add serverless

my recomendation here is to allways install the serverless framework as a dev dependency (npm install serverless --save-dev) specially if you're working in a team where each member can have its own version of the framework. After that, you can call the framework using npm scripts. For example, you can create a new entry in the scripts section like this: "deploy" : "serverless deploy" and call it using npm run deploy.

Try with the following order

npm config set prefix /usr/local

sudo npm i -g serverless

sudo /usr/bin/node /usr/local/lib/node_modules/serverless/node_modules/tabtab/src/cli.js install --name serverless --auto
