dnx-watch is not recognized as an internal or external command

I've tried to install the command dnx-watch through the command prompt so that I don't need to restart my server when file changes occur in my project. After running the following command dnu commands install Microsoft.Dnx.Watcher it runs and installs the packages. Notice the following line: 

"The following commands were installed:" dnx-watch

Then when I'm trying to run it, it says it's not recognized as an internal or external command?

And when I try to uninstall the commands using 

dnu commands uninstall Microsoft.Dnx.Watcher

it throws the following: enter image description here Edit: When i run dnu list, it lists all the packages but the watcher package has a star before it? Like below:

Is it not installed correctly?

I'm using 1.0.0-rc1-update2 coreclr x64 btw.

The installation process looks like this: enter image description here

As you can see, it adds the package to my \.dnx path. When I runt the command dnx-watch inside the folder of the package's (Microsoft.Dnx.Watcher) project.json file, it works.

How do I install it globally?

Finally my Environment variables looks like this: enter image description here

Solution

  • I know this is a bit confusing but uninstall takes the command name. So, it should be dnu commands uninstall dnx-watch.

    Can you please make sure that %userprofile%/.dnx/bin is on the PATH and that is has dnx-watch in it?
