vue command not found on Mac

I simply did a npm install -g @vue/cli and it didn't work. Trying a vue --version after doing the install gave me a bash command not found error.

I tried using sudo as well, but that didn't work. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling and that didn't work. Anyone got ideas for other things to look at?

Turned out that the problem was the n node version manager which I had seen also interfere with other things. I wasn't really using it, so I uninstalled it.

sudo npm uninstall -g n

n was interfering with npm and npx themselves. They were not updating properly, but now with n gone, I updated them:

sudo npm install -g npm@latest

sudo npm install -g npx@latest

Then I installed the vue CLI

npm install -g @vue/cli@latest

After doing those commands I had the correct versions of npm and npx, and the vue CLI installed correctly as well.
