Monaca Command is Still Not Working

[jdtzmn]

This is what happens when I try running monaca:

$ sudo npm install -g monaca $ monaca : No such file or directory

That's all it says. I've also tried $ sudo monaca but to no avail...

(This time please ask before closing issue so that I can tell you if it is really working).

Thanks for the comment. I actually confirmed it is running well in my Mac OS X environment.

Can you please execute the following commands to see what happens?

$ which monaca
$ node `which monaca` -v
$ node /usr/local/lib/node_modules/monaca/bin/monaca
$ ls -la `which monaca`

Thanks so much!

$ which monaca
/usr/local/bin/monaca
$ node `which monaca` -v
                            (<---- Blank space)

Looks like you are still using the older version. Please do

sudo npm -g install monaca

to update to the latest version.

$ monaca

I just tried: $ sudo link /usr/bin/monaca /usr/local/lib/node_modules/monaca/bin/monaca Then:

$ monaca
: No such file or directory

And yet this worked: $ /usr/bin/monaca

Hope this helps!

What I see is that previously monaca command was installed in /usr/local/bin/monaca. However, when you run npm -g install it looks like it installs to /usr/bin/monaca. I think this is the main cause of the error.

Therefore, if you do rm /usr/local/bin/monaca I think the problem will be fixed.

[jdtzmn]

I fixed it by:

$ sudo rm /usr/local/bin/monaca
$ monaca
bash: /usr/local/bin/monaca: No such file or directory
$ sudo npm install -g monaca
$ sudo link /usr/local/bin/monaca /usr/local/lib/node_modules/monaca/bin/monaca
$ monaca
bash: /usr/local/bin/monaca: Permission denied
$ sudo monaca

Congrats!

$ monaca
bash: /usr/local/bin/monaca: Permission denied

Maybe this can be fixed by running the following command:

chmod go+x /usr/local/bin/monaca
