@PrathmeshUpadhyay

The new version is 2.26.10.

So here's the fix for those who want to fix the check version error is to roll back to version 2.26.7.

  1. make sure you have either Visual Studio or Visual C++ redistribute instal
  2. uninstall browser-sync use command ------>npm uninstall -g browser-sync
  3. reinstall previous version use command ------>npm install -g browser-sync@2.26.7 Now you can do check version with no error

browser-sync --version

Following are the steps to solve all these problems. Hope it helps:

1) "x packages are looking for funding." when running npm install on a react project. $ npm install packages are looking for funding. run npm fund for details.

   Solution: npm config set fund false --location=global

2) When I run the external tool Browser Sync, I get the error:

'browser-sync' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file.

Solution:    Go to file explorer and search for browser sync and see where the file is installed.

Then Right-click your computer, in properties, click advanced system settings, then environment variables and add the directory. For me, it was "C:\Users\userName\AppData\Roaming\npm" and save to your environment variables. Then open the cmd and open that directory and then run the browser-sync. Then running browser-sync --version will work. I will link a Youtube video on how to do this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEroNNzqlF4

Make sure you edit the Path System Variable when doing so and add C:\Users\userName\AppData\Roaming\npm as a folder.
