'cross-env' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

Can you please help me on this I have trouble running npm run dev for my Laravel Mix. I followed the links below but an still error exists. Do I have a problem with my OS? I tried to remove node_modules, run npm install --global cross-env. and run the NPM install again.

Laravel 5.4 ‘cross-env’ Is Not Recognized as an Internal or External Command

Here are my versions:

'cross-env' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Did you try specifying the path to cross-env as suggested by dwoodward on the Github issue you linked. This goes in your package.json file:

"dev": "node node_modules/cross-env/dist/bin/cross-env.js NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js",
"watch": "node node_modules/cross-env/dist/bin/cross-env.js NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --watch --progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js",
"watch-poll": "node node_modules/cross-env/dist/bin/cross-env.js NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --watch --watch-poll --progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js",
"hot": "node node_modules/cross-env/dist/bin/cross-env.js NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack-dev-server/bin/webpack-dev-server.js --inline --hot --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js",
"production": "node node_modules/cross-env/dist/bin/cross-env.js NODE_ENV=production node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js"

This may have changed in more recent versions of Laravel but the gist is that you should change cross-env to node_modules/cross-env/dist/bin/cross-env.js.

I resolved it by uninstalling node and then running the following command.

npm install -d

Try Add the npm bin directory to your system path e.g C:\Users\DELL\AppData\Local\Yarn\bin

First, run:

rm -rf node_modules
rm package-lock.json yarn.lock
npm cache clear --force

Then run the command

npm install cross-env

npm install

and then you can also run

npm run dev
