My Problem
I have installed fnm (Fast Node Manager) from this github repo and it works all great except for installing global npm packages. For example, the well-known package nodemon
is something I want installed globally and not im my node_modules
project directory.
When installing the package globally there seems to be no problem:
And when checking the global package list, nodemon
seems to be there:
But when running the command nodemon
I get the following output:
As also seen in the fnm repository documentation there is a need to run this piece of code eval "$(fnm env --use-on-cd)";
on load in order to get fnm to work properly and this is what I have done in the .bashrc
file.
Note I am using windows 10, seems to be working on my mac laptop.
The Question
How can I have a global npm package installed for all or at least a single fnm node version? And what I mean by this, is that by running fnm use <NODE_VERION>
you specify what node version to use as also seen in the repository documentation. I want to be able to run the nodemon
command without it being installed in a project's node_modules
directory.
You do not need to delete the multishells. The problem is the Git Bash path.
Fix is here: https://github.com/Schniz/fnm/issues/390
Put this in your .bashrc
eval $(fnm env | sed 1d)
export PATH=$(cygpath $FNM_MULTISHELL_PATH):$PATH
if [[ -f .node-version || -f .nvmrc ]]; then
fnm use
fi
