'firebase' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

I am in a bizarre problem, I just updated my Node.js and NPM at the date of 01-Feb-2019. And used the following command-

npm install -g firebase-tools

to install the Firebase CLI

Then on typing either of the code below

firebase login

or

firebase init

it is showing the following error

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

Please help me. It has already consumed my two days.

My firebase command stopped working after I uninstalled node and shifted to last version of node with nvm.

what worked for me is adding C:\Program Files (x86)\Nodist\bin to system environment variables

To do so here are the instructions:

  1. Open Start Menu or press Win button on your keyboard.
  2. Type "variables".
  3. Click on "Edit the system environment variables"
  4. Click on "Environment Variables..." button.
  5. In the "System variables" list select "Path" and click on the "Edit..." button under the list.
  6. Add ;C:\Program Files (x86)\Nodist\bin; to the end of the list
  7. Then click "OK"
  8. In the "Edit environment variable" dialog click "OK".
  9. In the "Environment Variables" dialog click on "OK".

I was struggling with this same issue for a few days and had an issue where my NPM was installed in two different places for whatever reason.

I had an npm folder in C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\npm\ as well as C:\Users\<user>\npm\

Turns out the Firebase installation command installed all the needed files into the latter folder, while my Environment PATH was pointing to the first folder.

I changed my PATH variable to C:\Users\<user>\npm\ and ran the firebase installation again. After that everything started working fine.

If you havent checked the other answers about what PATH is, you can access it by typing env in the Windows search bar and from there click the Environment Variables button. Then double click the Path line under System variables to edit it. Remember to press OK to save any changes.

This is probably a rare edgecase, but maybe it will help someone.

If you have similar problems like this

firebase : File C:\Users\<user-name>\AppData\Roaming\npm\firebase.ps1 cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled on this system. For more em. For more
information, see about_Execution_Policies at https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=135170.
At line:1 char:1
+ firebase login
+ ~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : SecurityError: (:) [], PSSecurityException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : UnauthorizedAccess

perhaps you can try to Ctrl + Click the C:\Users<user-name>\AppData\Roaming\npm\firebase.ps1

After that you'll see a new PowerShell Terminal and you can continue it.

Hope it's works

My solution was that my project was on partition F: somedirectory/app, and when I moved it on partition C: Users/username/Documents/app It worked!

I tried everything mentioned and more, lost couple of hours.

So moving on partition where I installed: npm install -g firebase-tools then: firebase login, then: firebase init

Add this to the environment variable:-

C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\npm\firebase

it will allow firebase commands in ps/cmd

i dont think : C:\Users<user>\AppData\Roaming\npm\ now works.

My solution is to use Firebase CLI binary for Windows:

  1. Download CLI: https://firebase.google.com/docs/cli#install-cli-windows
  2. Run CLI, go to the project directory (cd 'your app path'). By the way, you may see the version: run "firebase --version" for that
  3. Run "firebase login" with Firebase CLI
  4. Run "firebase init" with Firebase CLI

1.After installing firebase globally via npm i -g firebase-tools

2.simply run all your firebase commands from the node command-line tool, it instantly worked for me.

3.To access the node command line, simply go to the start menu on windows and type "node.js command prompt"

After running npm install -g firebase-tools, go to C:\usr\local. You will see Firebase files.

  1. Copy this path C:\usr\local to the clipboard.
  2. Open the Start Menu and search for Edit the System Environment Variables or simply env.
  3. Select the environment variables option that appears.
  4. Find the PATH variable under the system environment variables (lower section).
  5. Select PATH and click Edit
  6. Add C:\user\local to the beginning of the path.
  7. Add %APPDATA%\npm if it doesn't exist.
  8. Click OK to each of the windows until they're all closed.

After this, open a Windows command prompt and run firebase --version.

After installing

$ npm install -g firebase-tools

Note the directory where it installed What I did was locate the directory where firebase was installed. In my case C:\usr\local then I copied the three firebase files. I also went into the node_modules folder and copied the firebase tools folder. Then I went to my app directory in file manager and pasted the firebase files, then created a new node_modules folder and pasted the firebase-tools folder.

Now go to your cmd and run

$ firebase init

It should work

I had similar issue in MAC. Terminal was giving me command not found message on running "firebase --version". So, I tried to reinstall the firebase with the command: "sudo npm i g firebase-tools" but it again errored out stating that the installed firebase binary file is corrupted.

Solution: STEP 1. Provide read, write and execute access with "sudo chmod a+rwx configstore" cmd to the path :

"/Users//.config/configstore/"

STEP 2. Run following command to update firebase:

sudo curl -sL firebase.tools | upgrade=true bash

For peeps like me who were unable to get rid of this problem after trying everything suggested above. I know it is late but I Fixed it by changing the location for installing my packages. I ran the command "npm config get prefix" in cmd and I found out that my default location for node_modules installation had been changed. so I set it back to default by "npm config set prefix "C:\Users\your_PC_Name\AppData\Roaming\npm". After that I used "npm install -g firebase-tools" again

My firebase package was installed. I was relieved to see firebase.cmd file in npm folder. Earlier I had tried every thing like uninstalling node.js and deleting npm and npm cache folders but all those methods didn't work for me.

Cannot get "npm install -g" to work on any packages (AppData/Roaming/npm always empty) this discussion worked for me only.

Make sure you run the CMD in administrator mode. Also once you have run npm install -g firebase-tools commands close the CMD prompt and reopen again. If this doesn't work uninstall node and reinstall it again. It requires your node version to be a minimum version to support firebase.

Navigate to the firebase directory and call it out on the cmd.

  • run cmd as admin
  • cd C:\users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\npm
  • firebase.cmd login or firebase login
  • firebase will prompt a google login after which the issue should be resolved.

There you go. above steps are all commands goes to your command prompt.

Ok. First of all, Bizarre problem has some bizarre solution. Uninstall your node js and NPM completely. Then reinstall it, and check, whether it works or not. Best of Luck
