Can be a problem with global install. Try following steps (the npm install is without sudo):

make a new directory in your /home/pi cd into newly created directory run npm install https://github.com/binsentsu/am43-ctrl cd into node_modules/.bin run by using: sudo ./am43ctrl … like in readme.

Sorry for the noob question but in the helpfile is stated "sudo am43ctrl" but is should be "sudo ./am43ctrl", is that correct?

[binsentsu]

Yes. It's indeed ./ for an executable.
