Tip: use the "code" button so that your console output is formatted accurately. — Dan Abramov, Apr 26 '17 at 08:37
You need to first select the text and *then* press the code button. — Dan Abramov, Apr 26 '17 at 08:38

Like with any global npm command, you need to ensure the global installation directory is in your PATH. The directory based on your question is /Users/Jojie/.npm-packages/bin/. So make sure to put it in your PATH. How to do it depends on the shell you use but this answer might help.
