bash: npm: command not found in cPanel Terminal

I get response, When try to write:

$ /opt/cpanel/ea-nodejs16/bin/npm -v
8.1.2

but with :

$ npm -v
bash: npm: command not found

So, I tried as the same logic but it didn't work:

$ /opt/cpanel/ea-nodejs16/bin/npm install
npm ERR! code ENOENT
npm ERR! syscall open
npm ERR! path /home/mydomain/public_html/app/package.json
npm ERR! errno -2
npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/mydomain/public_html/app/package.json'
npm ERR! enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.
npm ERR! enoent

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     /home/mydomain/.npm/_logs/2022-03-02T14_43_55_155Z-debug.log

So, how to make " npm " command lines works on server.

Solution

  • First install NodeJS install on cPanel, WHM.

    To install NodeJS from WHM, Goto Home / Software / EasyApache 4

    And in Additional Packages find NodeJS.

    enter image description here

    After that create an environment variable which points to the node directory. Run this command to do that.

    export PATH=/opt/cpanel/ea-nodejs16/bin/:$PATH

    Finally run npm -v to check NodeJS version.

    Hope this will help for someone.
