In my case  i installed node with NVM and after installing z Shell  node and nvm command didn t worked  So what worked for me was installing nvm again with this command     wget https   raw githubusercontent com creationix nvm master install sh   bash sudo zsh install sh   Above commands installed nvm again  since node was already installed  it added the node path automatically in  zshrc file and everything worked

On Ubuntu  after installing ZSH  and prevously on the bash terminal installed Node or other packages      First open    nano  zshrc     And uncomment the second line    export PATH  HOME bin  usr local bin  PATH  This works for me  and without writting any line  and I think this option is available on Mac too

add source  home YOUUSERNAME  bash profile at the beginning of    zshrc  And all missing commands will be detected    For Mac users   add source  Users YOUUSERNAME  bash profile

for macOS users  consider using  profile instead of  bash profile  You may still need to manually add it to    zshrc  source  HOME  profile  Note that there is no such file by default  Quoting slhck https   superuser com a 473103   Anyway  you can simply create the file if it doesn t exist and open it in a text editor  touch    profile open -e      The added value is that it feels good man to use a single file to set up the environment  regardless of the shell used  Loading a bash config file in zsh felt awkward  Quoting an accepted answer by Cos https   stackoverflow com a 415444 2445063   profile is simply the login script filename originally used by  bin sh  bash  being generally backwards-compatible with  bin sh  will read  profile if one exists  Following Filip Ekberg s research   opinion https   stackoverflow com a 415410 2445063   profile is the equivalent of  bash profile for the root  I think the name is changed to let other shells  csh  sh  tcsh  use it as well   you don t need one as a user   getting back to slhck  a note of attention regarding bash         once you create a file called    bash profile  your    profile will not be read anymore

In my humble opinion  first  you have to make sure you have any kind of Node version installed  For that type   nvm ls   And if you don t get any versions it means I was right    Then you have to type   nvm install  lt node version   gt       the actual version you can find in Node website  Then you will have Node and you will be able to use npm commands

FOR MAC  I tried some of the above but to no avail  could not get anything to work  I did have BREW INSTALLED  so although this not be the best approach  with zsh  I did   sudo chown -R   whoami   usr local share man man8   for brew access  brew update  amp  amp  brew install npm   I had had node installed  npm -v   to confirm install  nano    zshrc  to empty file changes and save   This worked for me   Hope this helps someone    1 bothers me  but I will live with for now

For me the accepted answer for adding export PATH  usr local share npm bin  PATH to  zshrc didn t work  I tried adding the NVM DIR as well which solved my issue    Try vi  bashrc You will find a line like the following  Copy it   export NVM DIR   HOME  nvm    -s   NVM DIR nvm sh     amp  amp       NVM DIR nvm sh     This loads nvm   -s   NVM DIR bash completion     amp  amp       NVM DIR bash completion     This loads nvm bash completion Paste the copied content to  zshrc file Restart the terminal   I hope this solves your issue

If you have added using nvm please add the following to your  zshrc file and restart the terminal since the binaries of the file are not being detected by zsh shell we specify the path  export NVM DIR      -z    XDG CONFIG HOME-      amp  amp  printf  s    HOME   nvm     printf  s    XDG CONFIG HOME  nvm      -s   NVM DIR nvm sh     amp  amp       NVM DIR nvm sh    This loads nvm

I think the problem is more about the ZSH completion   You need to add this line in your  zshrc   zstyle   completion    rehash true   If you have Oh-my-zsh  a PR has been made  you can integrate it until it is pulled  https   github com robbyrussell oh-my-zsh issues 3440

Another thing to try and the answer for me was to uncomment the first export in    zshrc      If you come from bash you might have to change your  PATH   export PATH  HOME bin  usr local bin  PATH

For Mac users   Alongside the following  nvm  iterm2  zsh  I found using the  bashrc rather than  profile or  bash profile caused far less issues    Simply by adding the latter to my  zshrc file   source  HOME  bashrc

In my case  Reinstalling node solve the issue  Anyone can install the node via below website   https   nodejs org en download

User · Answer

If you installed Node js using Homebrew  npm binaries can be found in  usr local share npm bin  You should make sure this directory is in your PATH environment variable  So  in your    zshrc file add export PATH  usr local share npm bin  PATH
