env: node: No such file or directory

Question

env: node: No such file or directory

I checked if my directory for node wasn't wrong and it's fine.

I tried these following answers already: 1. https://github.com/nodejs/node-v0.x-archive/issues/3911 2. https://github.com/creationix/nvm/issues/1702 3. browserify error /usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory

USER-no-MacBook-Pro-2:nomadcoin user$ yarn init
env: node: No such file or directory

Answer 1

I'm using Node Version Manager (nvm) (without using brew)

If you see this when starting a new ZSH or BASH session, then you maybe have to check your ~/.zshrc (~/.bashrc) file. nvm added some code for the environment at the end of the file. This should configure the default node version in your terminal.

But maybe you have already some code in your .zshrc file that depends on node? So move the nvm init code above other code that needs 'node'.

Answer 2

For some it may be as simple as forgetting to run

npm use node

after an update. Or it was in my case.

Answer 3

If you already installed nvm or node before and it worked, I would suggest to try to refresh your bash startup file. For example source .bash_profile

There are multiple bash startup file sometimes, you can check which one contains the nvm environment export setting to locate it.

Answer 4

For me I realized that hooks don't work when opening through the launcher.

instead I opened SourceTree through the terminal by running this command:

/Applications/SourceTree.app/Contents/MacOS/Sourcetree

Answer 5

Perform the below steps:

1. which node
2. sudo ln -s /home/ubuntu/.nvm/versions/node/v12.13.1/bin/node (output of above step) /usr/bin/node

Answer 6

I had the same issue on Ubuntu when trying to updating my npm version by using:

sudo npm install -g npm

I've solved by doing the same without sudo:

npm install -g npm

Answer 7

• Trynode -v to see whether you've installed node. I think your node not works.

• nvm is the environment managment for node. If you are using nvm, you should brew install nvm, and use nvm install version-of-node-you-want-to-install to install node, and use nvm use the-version to let node works.

• Whole install chain is:

  • brew install nvm, to install nvm, which is environment/version management for node.

  • nvm install 10.3.0, to install node and npm

  • npm install -g yarn, to install yarn

  • use node -v, npm -v, nvm -v, yarn -v to check if they all works.
