I have installed Preact but it’s not getting recognized in the terminal. First, I went to the official website of PreactJS. The doc says that I have to run npm install -g preact-cli. As I am using Yarn, I ran yarn global add preact-cli. It was installed successfully but with a lot of warnings. Then I ran preact create default first-preact-app. But it's showing an error that "The term 'Preact' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet, function, script file or executable program."
I have tried force cleaning the cache and reinstalling preact-cli. But it doesn't work. Two of the warnings are that preact and preact-render-to-string have unmet peer dependency. So, I have installed them also. But it still doesn't work.
I have tried running npm and experimented with the commands also. But it didn't work. So, how can I fix the problem?
I have run these commands using Powershell and Git bash on Windows 10. I am trying to install Preact 10.5.12 using Yarn 1.22.5. And a point to be noted, I tried running yarn dlx but it returns an error that "command not found". And when the installation of preact and preact-render-to-string gets finished, yarn gives and warning that they have no binaries.
EDIT: Perhaps, it was a problem with Windows. The problem has gone after reinstalling it.
Your problem almost certainly is that preact-cli was not on your PATH - a list of programs that are globally accessible.
For what it's worth, we don't recommend installing globally. The site may still say that but the repository correctly recommends using npx instead.
