I am doing node.js server setup from https://scotch.io/tutorials/authenticate-a-node-js-api-with-json-web-tokens. I am new in node.js. I am installing npm install nodemon --save
. But when I am run the server with this nodemon server.js
.
In the terminal showing:
nodemon is not recognized as internal or external command, operable program or batch file
node server.js
command is working and started the server, But nodemon
command is not working.
I am set up the node js server from https://scotch.io/tutorials/authenticate-a-node-js-api-with-json-web-tokens video.
I don't know why it is not working I have tried some command for the install nodemon.
npm install -g nodemon
npm install -g nodemon --save
npm install --save-dev nodemon
npm install -g nodemon@debug
npm install -g --force nodemon
I have seen one link I can´t install nodemon globally, "nodemon" not recognized, But I don't know how to set the path because of my project location in D drive.
I want to run nodemon server.js
. If anybody has an idea please share. Thanks in advance.

nodemon
You can run your node app by simply typing nodemon
It First run index.js
You can put your entry point in that file easily.
If you have not installed nodemon then you first you have to install it by
npm install -g nodemon
If you got any permission error then use
sudo npm install -g nodemon
You can check nodemon exists or not by
nodemon -v
All above options are failed, I got the permanent solution for this.
Add below line in package.json under dependencies and run npm install
. This will add nodemon package to node_modules and there you go, enjoy the coding.
"nodemon": "^1.17.*"
Since node prefix is not in the PATH ENV variable , any of the globally installed modules are not getting recognized. Please try this. Open cmd prompt npm config get prefix append the resulting path to PATH env variable. Now you should be able to run nodemon from any location. try this link and follow it.fixing npm permissions https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions#option-2-change-npms-default-directory-to-another-directory
No need to install nodemon globally. Just run this npx nodemon <scriptname.js>. That's it.
Just had the same problem after creating a new user profile on my development machine.
The problem was that I wasn't running the console (command prompt\powershell ISE) as admin.
Running as admin solved this problem for me.
For me setting the path variables was enough for the solution:
Step 1) Install nodemon globally using npm install -g nodemon
Step 2) Set the ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
, by adding npm path the PATH variable
1) Open Control Panel, search for environment variable
2) Click open the environment variable
3) Create new variable NPM
set it with the path of npm as appears from the nodemon installation cmd output (as seen from nodemon
installation screenshot):
4) Now add NPM
variable to the PATH
variables:
Step 3) Close the 'cmd' and open a fresh one and type nodemon --version
Now we have the nodemon ready to use :)
I have fixed in this way
uninstall existing local nodemon
npm uninstall nodemon
install it again globally.
npm i -g nodemon
Run this command:
npm install nodemon -g
Now it will install the nodemon but the problem with my case is that it is installing nodemon somewhere else.I added Nodejs path from (ProgramFiles(x86)) but that did not worked so i found another solution.
There will be a path shown during installation where nodemon is installed,then [Kindly go to below link to see the path][1]
Now try the below command,hopefully it will run
nodemon YourAppName.js
Install nodemon globally:
C:\>npm install -g nodemon
Get prefix:
C:\>npm config get prefix
You will get output like following in your console:
C:\Users\Family\.node_modules_global
Copy it.
Set Path.
Go to Advance System Settings → Environment Variable → Click New (Under User Variables) → Pop up form will be displayed → Pass the following values:
variable name = path,
variable value = Copy output from your console
Now Run Nodemon:
C:\>nodemon .
First, write npm install --save nodemon then in package.json write the followings
"scripts": {
"server": "nodemon server.js"
},
then write
npm run server
I tried installing the nodemon globally but that doesn't worked for me. whenever i try to run it always shows me the error:
nodemon : The term 'nodemon' is not recognized as the name of a
cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling
of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is
correct and try again.
2. I have found two solutions for this
solution 1:
What i have tried is to update the "scripts" in package.json file and there i have added
"server": "nodemon app.js"
above line of code and after that
npm run server
Soluton 2:
Press the Windows key.
Type "Path" in the search box and select "Edit the system environment variables"
Click on "Environment Variables" near the bottom.
In the "System Variables" section double click on the "Path" variable.
Click "New" on the right-hand side.
Copy and paste this into the box (replace [Username]):
C:\Users[Username]\AppData\Roaming\npm
restart your terminal and VSCode.
Then type nodemon app.js
to run the nodemon
i applied solution 2 as we just need to run nodemon [filename.js]
To use nodemon you must install it globally.
For Windows
npm i -g nodemon
For Mac
sudo npm i -g nodemon
If you don't want to install it globally you can install it locally in your project folder by running command npm i nodemon
. It will give error something like this if run locally:
nodemon : The term 'nodemon' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
To remove this error open package.json
file and add
"scripts": {
"server": "nodemon server.js"
},
and after that just run command
npm run server
and your nodemon will start working properly.
Does it need to be installed globally? Do you need to be able to just run nodemon server.js
? If not, you could always just call it from your local project directory. Should be here:
node_modules/.bin/nodemon
Remove nodemon because it's a dev dependency and use node instead of it.
"scripts": {
"start": "node server.js"
},
This worked for me.
The Set-ExecutionPolicy cmdlet's default execution policy is Restricted for Windows. You can try installing nodemon by setting this policy to Unrestricted.
execute command : Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
and then try installing nodemon and execute command: nodemon -v
This may come to late, But better to say somthing :)
If you don't want to install nodemon globbaly you can use npx
, it installs the package at run-time and will behave as global package (keep in mind that it's just available at the moment and does not exist globally!).
So all you need is npx nodemon server.js
.
npx
can be used out of the box from [email protected]
version and up.Just install Globally
npm install -g nodemon
It worked for me on Windows 10.
nodemon app.js
I was facing the same issue. I had installed nodemon as a dev-dependency and when I tried to start the server it gave the message that
nodemon is not recognized as internal or external command, operable program or batch file
Then I installed it globally and tried to start the server and it worked!
npm install -g nodemon
Try in your packge.json: put "./node_modules/.bin/nodemon" instead of just "nodemon". For me it works.
This line solved my problem in CMD:
npm install --save-dev nodemon
