Mac OS : Install vue cli does work properly

I installed vue-cli running the following command: 

npm install -g @vue/cli
/Users/me/npm/bin/vue -> /Users/me/npm/lib/node_modules/@vue/cli/bin/vue.js
/Users/me/npm/lib
└── @vue/[email protected]


When I run vue init, get an the error: "command not found": 

vue init webpack vue-app
-bash: vue: command not found

vue-cli does not seem to be in my PATH. When I check the PATH, it includes the directory /Users/me/npm/lib. Here is the result of echo $PATH

/usr/local/git/bin:/Users/me/npm/bin/ng:/Users/me/npm/lib:/usr/bin/local/bin:/Users/me/.rbenv/shims:/Users/me/.rbenv/shims:/usr/local/git/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/ImageMagick/bin:/Users/me/Tools/apache-maven-3.2.5/bin


What am I missing?

add sudo before those commands, it should work, I have the same issue. You need to give the permission.

Examples:

sudo cnpm install vue-cli -g  
sudo cnpm install webpack -g

Using npm the following worked for me:

  1. Open your terminal anywhere and write nano ~/.zshrc
  2. Write the following in the file: export PATH="$PATH:$(npm config get prefix)/bin"
  3. Press Ctrl+X to exit, then Y to save the file and hit Enter to go back to terminal

You may now be able to call vue from terminal. I'm also assuming you've installed the package globally (npm install -g @vue/cli)

If you still have same problem and not only with vue cli, but any packages that must be installed globaly by NPM. For me helped:

brew uninstall node

And load Node.js as .dmg from official web-site https://nodejs.org/en/download/ and install from it.

After did sudo npm install -g @vue/cli and all worked.

For Mojave, after much struggling, I copied the installed path for @vue/cli

  1. Path [during installation path is shown]

    /Users/{your_username}/

    .npm-global/bin

  2. Open the GUI with:

    sudo nano ~/.bash_profile

    enter your password

  3. Paste the copied path as

    export PATH=$PATH:/Users/{your_username}/ .npm-global/bin

  4. Run:

    vue --version

For me worked this steps:

  1. Find the directory path to where vue-cli was installed. Mine was located here [replace username with yours] /Users/username/.npm-packages/bin
  2. Open up your bash profile: sudo nano ~/.bash_profile
  3. Add the following: export PATH=$PATH:/Users/[username]/.npm-packages/bin replacing [username] with your username.
  4. Save the file and restart terminal.
  5. You can now use vue in terminal as expected.

The same issue occurred for me when running:

npm install -g @vue/cli

After much research and experimentation the only thing that worked instead was:

npm install -g @vue/cli@latest

You could try adding this to your $PATH:

/Users/me/npm/bin

Your $PATH currently goes one level deeper than this, in which case wouldn’t see the content of bin.
