Hi I'm following this link to set up development environment. @https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/visuals/environment-setup. I've installed node.JS in my environment and if I use: node -v I can see the current version is 18.17.1

I use npm i -g powerbi-visuals-tools@latest to install pbiviz, here is the PS outcome:

Then I tried to verify if it is correctly installed by using: pbiviz here is PS outcome:

I assume this means pbiviz was not properly set up in my environment and did not go on to try next step. I tried restart my laptop and reopen PowerShell it did not work. Is there any solution to this issue? I wanted to find troubleshooting guide on github page and power bi documentation page but haven't found a similar issue like mine. Thanks!

The issue is resolved. It is because directory containing global npm packages is included in my system's PATH environment variable. After I manually add it to Path it works
