npx command not found

  • 5

I am working with webpack and I need to execute ./node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js using npx. npx webpack would run the webpack binary (./node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack), but each time I execute npx webpack I get
bash: npx: command not found.

I am using:

  • node: v9.5.0

  • npm: 5.6.0

  • nvm: 1.1.5

  • webpack: 3.11.0

      npx should come with npm 5.2+, and you have node 5.6 .. I found that when I install node using nvm for Windows, it doesn’t download npx.
      so just install npx globally:

      npm i -g npx

      In Linux or Mac OS, if you found any permission related errors use sudo before it.

      sudo npm i -g npx
