Troubleshooting

​

Command not found

1. Check if npm global bin is in your PATH:
   npm config get prefix
   
2. Add npm global bin to PATH:
   # For bash
   echo 'export PATH="$(npm config get prefix)/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
   source ~/.bashrc
   
   # For zsh
   echo 'export PATH="$(npm config get prefix)/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
   source ~/.zshrc
   

​

Permission errors

1. Change npm’s default directory (recommended):
   mkdir ~/.npm-global
   npm config set prefix '~/.npm-global'
   echo 'export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.profile
   source ~/.profile
   npm install -g prpm
   
2. Or use sudo (less secure):
   sudo npm install -g prpm
