npm ERR! could not determine executable to run #145

Closed chigau-cloud closed 2 years ago

chigau-cloud commented 2 years ago

Installing through npx I get this: npm ERR! could not determine executable to run

and through npm I get this:

Please, upgrade your dependencies to the actual version of core-js.

The output for the global installation is ok, those are just warnings. What's the output for canvas-sketch -v?

chigau-cloud commented 2 years ago

zsh: command not found: canvas-sketch

fturcheti commented 2 years ago

And for these commands: npm config get prefix and echo $PATH?

chigau-cloud commented 2 years ago

/Users/nunoneves/.npm-global

/opt/homebrew/bin:/opt/homebrew/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Users/nunoneves/.rvm/bin

fturcheti commented 2 years ago

Try this: export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH. Then test canvas-sketch -v again.

chigau-cloud commented 2 years ago

Thank you so much! All sorted!

chigau-cloud commented 2 years ago

Actually, this solution is not permanent, once I close the terminal I need to reinstall canvas-sketch through use of xport PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH

fturcheti commented 2 years ago

You should add this export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH to your shell config file to make it permanent. It seems that you're using Zsh, so this config should be on your ~/.zshrc.

You can open your .zshrc file in your text editor and make this change or you can use this command to append the given text to your config file:

echo 'export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.zshrc

Please see this comment about installation, if errors persist let me know.
