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

You need to install it globally  npm install -g nodemon   or if using yarn yarn global add nodemon   And then it will be available on the path  I see now that you have tried this and it didn t work  your path may be messed up   If you want to use the locally installed version  rather than installing globally then you can create a script in your package json   scripts          serve    nodemon server js         and then use  npm run serve   optionally if using yarn    without adding serve in package json yarn run nodemon server js   with serve script in package json yarn run serve   npm will then look in your local node modules folder before looking for the command in your global modules

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 npm 5 2 0 version and up

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
