express: command not found error

Question

I know there are many answers in this topic but still not solved my problem.

My settings:

• Mac OS
• Node.js v8.11.2
• npm v5.6.0

I tried this:

• sudo npm install -g express-generator from here
• reinstall node.js from here
• express install after npm init. (But just 'package.json' is made when I finish this tutorial)

When I install express and express-generator,

$ npm install -g express
+ express@4.16.3
updated 1 package in 1.499s

$ npm install -g express-generator
/Users/soodiamond/.npm-global/bin/express -> 
/Users/soodiamond/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/express-generator/bin/express-cli.js
+ express-generator@4.16.0
updated 1 package in 0.925s

still not find express command

$ express myapp
-bash: express: command not found

Answer 1

I had the exact same problem while installing express for the first time. Probably the @4.16 version has some issues.
Try:
sudo npm install -g express@4.13.1

Worked for me!

Answer 2

When you run : sudo npm install -g express-generator,
