Command not found after npm install in zsh

add source /home/YOUUSERNAME/.bash_profile at the beginning of ~/.zshrc

And all missing commands will be detected.

For Mac users : add source /Users/YOUUSERNAME/.bash_profile

If you installed Node.js using Homebrew, npm binaries can be found in /usr/local/share/npm/bin. You should make sure this directory is in your PATH environment variable. So, in your ~/.zshrc file add export PATH=/usr/local/share/npm/bin:$PATH.

For Mac users:

Alongside the following: nvm, iterm2, zsh

I found using the .bashrc rather than .profile or .bash_profile caused far less issues.

Simply by adding the latter to my .zshrc file:

source $HOME/.bashrc

If you have added using nvm please add the following to your .zshrc file and restart the terminal since the binaries of the file are not being detected by zsh shell we specify the path

export NVM_DIR="$([ -z "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME-}" ] && printf %s "${HOME}/.nvm" || printf %s "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/nvm")"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm
