Error in running nuxt project: "'nuxt' is not recognized as an internal or external command"

When I tried to run npm run dev in my nuxt project, my console returned this message:

'nuxt' is not recognized as an internal or external command, 
operable program or batch file.
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 1
npm ERR! [email protected] dev: `nuxt`
npm ERR! Exit status 1
npm ERR!
npm ERR! Failed at the [email protected] dev script.
npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

after installing the project. You need to install packages in package.json

Migrating from Nuxt 2 to Nuxt 3?

Change your scripts in package.json to not refer to nuxt-ts anymore, but just to nuxt instead. Example: "dev": "nuxt-ts", -> "dev": "nuxt dev",, "generate": "nuxt-ts generate", -> "generate": "nuxt generate",, etc.

  • Step 1: rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json

  • Step 2: npm cache clean --force

  • Step 3: npm install ( you may need to add --legacy-peer-deps or --force flag, if npm install is not working )

  • To start again, npm start

  • To make build, npm run build (ssr ) or generate ( csr )

Sometimes this blows up because you're not exporting node_modules/.bin directory.

Place or append the following line in your .bashrc or .zshrc:

export PATH=node_modules/.bin:$PATH

It simply means nuxt is not installed.

Try running npm install nuxt

Have the same problem recently.

Solution for me was change the path of scripts section in package.json from this:

  "scripts": {
    "dev": "nuxt",
    "build": "nuxt build",
    "start": "nuxt start",
    "generate": "nuxt generate"
  },

to that:

  "scripts": {
    "dev": "node_modules/.bin/nuxt",
    "build": "node_modules/.bin/nuxt build",
    "start": "node_modules/.bin/nuxt start",
     "generate": "node_modules/.bin/nuxt generate"
  },

Install globally cross-env: npm install -g cross-env

Then just update package.json scripts to start with "cross-env ...."

example:

"scripts": {
    "dev": "cross-env nuxt",
    "build": "cross-env nuxt build",
    "start": "cross-env nuxt start",
    "generate": "cross-env nuxt generate",
    "lint": "eslint --ext .js,.vue --ignore-path .gitignore ."
},

This works on my Windows 10.

I solved this problem.
I was looking in stackoverflow for similar problems and apparently the problem was the npm cache.
I will let a link bellow with the solution and a quick sample of what i did.

Link to the answer: npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE

Step 1: npm cache clean --force

Step 2: Delete node_modules by $ rm -rf node_modules folder or delete it manually by going into the directory and right-click > delete. Delete package-lock.json file too.

Step 3: npm install

To start again, npm start

Thanks everyone who take time to help, really appreciate.

Make sure nuxt is installed in your Nuxt project:

$ cd /path/to/nuxt-project
$ npm list nuxt
[email protected] /path/to/nuxt-project
└── [email protected]

Here /path/to/nuxt-project contains your package.json and node-modules.

If it isn't installed, add nuxt to your project by doing:

$ npm install --save nuxt

Or put it in your project's package.json then do npm install:

  "dependencies": {
    "nuxt": "^2.0.0"
  },

UPDATE:
If you are still getting "nuxt not recognized" problems, try to use explicit path to nuxt from your node_modules directory.

Given this directory (after doing npm install --save nuxt):

nuxt-project
|- node_modules
   |- .bin
      |- nuxt
|- package.json

Update the dev command in package.json with:

"scripts": {
  "dev": "node_modules/.bin/nuxt"
},
