Expo command is not found ubuntu

Question

I have installed expo with this command - npm install expo-cli -g but when I am writing expo in command line, is writing that expo in not found.

I have tried to install with yarn and it was installed successful but is writing that expo in not found.

I have tried to export PATH to ~/.profile but this did not help me.

Answer 3

If it is installed, expo might not be in your PATH.

1. Check if npm global is in your path. $ echo $PATH,
2. if not in your path add npm global to your path.

get the path of your global npm npm config get prefix

add the output of the above command to your .bashrc or .zshrc file.

# replace npm-global-path with the output of npm config get prefix
export PATH=npm-global-path/bin:$PATH

then

# source your .bashrc, .zshr or *.profile
source ~/.bashrc or source ~/.zshrc

Environment variables in bash_profile or bashrc?
