the key point is finding the right path where your grunt was installed   I installed grunt through npm  but my grunt path was  Users   whoyouare   npm-global lib node modules grunt bin grunt  So after I added  Users   whoyouare   npm-global lib node modules grunt bin to    bash profile and source    bash profile  It worked   So the steps are as followings     1  find the path where your grunt was installed when you installed grunt  it told you  if you don t remember  you can install it one more time     2  vi    bash profile    3  export PATH  PATH  your path where grunt was installed   4  source    bash profile   You can refer  http   www hongkiat com blog grunt-command-not-found

I have been hunting around trying to solve this one for a while and none of the suggested updates to bash seemed to be working   What I discovered was that some point my npm root was modified such that it was pointing to a Users USER NAME  node node modules while the actual installation of npm was living at  usr local lib node modules   You can check this by running npm root and npm root -g  for the global installation    To correct the path you can call npm config set prefix  usr local

I m guessing you used Brew to install Node  so the guide here might be helpful http   madebyhoundstooth com blog install-node-with-homebrew-on-os-x     You need to ensure that the npm bin is in your path as it describes export PATH   usr local share npm bin  PATH   This is the location that npm will install the bin stubs for the installed packages     The nano version will also work as described here http   architectryan com 2012 10 02 add-to-the-path-on-mac-os-x-mountain-lion  but a restart of Terminal may be required to have the new path picked up
