gatsby command not found

[yaronlevi]

node @8.2.1
npm@5.3.0

Following the official guide I run:
npm install --global gatsby-cli

Then when running:
gatsby new tutorial-part-one https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby-starter-hello-world

gatsby: command not found

When looking at the globally installed npm packages I get:

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the global package. Probably just an install error.

I've tried installing and reinstalling but I get the same error. (Also the same red error when listing the global packages).

Any other direction you can point me to?

[KyleAMathews]

Try Yarn

[yaronlevi]

The same result )-:

Looking into this now:
yarnpkg/yarn#2064

If I lookup "Gatsby" in this thread, the same issue is mentioned.

You can search where npm install global packages and check if it is in your path.

Yarn sure solved the problem for me on Ubuntu
sudo yarn global add gatsby-cli

Problem may be you switch your node version using nvm, and package is installed under ~/.nvm/versions/node/{version}/lib, so run gatsby will throw error.

not sure why but @Oluwasetemi your sudo command worked for me

I had the issue after installing Gatsby globally several times on a mac (OS 10.13.2). I tried different node & npm versions. It turned out that the node/npm installs were not in the standard /usr/local/lib/ folder. I reinstalled both from https://nodejs.org/en/download/ making sure the location was correct and then cd to that location before installing Gatsby. Gatsby commands worked perfectly after that.

There hasn't been any activity on this issue recently. Due to the high number of incoming GitHub issues, we have to clean some of the old issues as many of them have already been resolved with the latest updates.

Please make sure to update to the latest Gatsby version and check if that solves the issue. Let us know if that works for you by adding a comment 👍
