env: node: No such file or directory

I checked if my directory for node wasn't wrong and it's fine.

I tried these following answers already: 1. https://github.com/nodejs/node-v0.x-archive/issues/3911 2. https://github.com/creationix/nvm/issues/1702 3. browserify error /usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory

  • Trynode -v to see whether you've installed node. I think your node not works.

  • nvm is the environment managment for node. If you are using nvm, you should brew install nvm, and use nvm install version-of-node-you-want-to-install to install node, and use nvm use the-version to let node works.

  • Whole install chain is:

    • brew install nvm, to install nvm, which is environment/version management for node.

    • nvm install 10.3.0, to install node and npm

    • npm install -g yarn, to install yarn

    • use node -v, npm -v, nvm -v, yarn -v to check if they all works.

    Also useful: `which node` and if that's turning up nothing, then `find / -name node` for a full scan. – tadman Jun 02 '18 at 02:56
  • Yes, you are right. My node is not working. Also I tried following.....USER-no-MacBook-Pro-2:~ user$ brew install nvm Warning: nvm 0.33.11 is already installed and up-to-date To reinstall 0.33.11, run `brew reinstall nvm` USER-no-MacBook-Pro-2:~ user$ – Choi Jun 02 '18 at 02:57
  • OK assuming you are using node 10.3.0, run `nvm install 10.3.0` – John Jun 02 '18 at 02:59
  • Sorry @TKJohn USER-no-MacBook-Pro-2:~ user$ nvm install 10.3.0 bash: nvm: command not found USER-no-MacBook-Pro-2:~ user$ nvm install 10.3.0 bash: nvm: command not found USER-no-MacBook-Pro-2:~ user$ nvm use the-version bash: nvm: command not found USER-no-MacBook-Pro-2:~ user$ which node USER-no-MacBook-Pro-2:~ user$ I tried to type `find / -name node` then /usr/local/Cellar/node/10.3.0/bin/node /usr/local/opt/node – Choi Jun 02 '18 at 03:07
  • Thank you @TKJohn !! It was done when following your steps. Thanks a lot! – Choi Jun 02 '18 at 03:13
  • this really helped a lot. thanks. I also used this link: https://stackoverflow.com/a/43037695/7377537 to resolve the issue – Vivek22 Jan 31 '19 at 20:52
  • If you don't know which node version to install, try `nvm install --lts` to install the latest LTS version – Frank Wang Jan 26 '22 at 15:55

Perform the below steps:

  1. which node
  2. sudo ln -s /home/ubuntu/.nvm/versions/node/v12.13.1/bin/node (output of above step) /usr/bin/node

    Although this works it doesn't seem ideal - having to update that simlink any time your node version is changed. Seems like something `nvm` should handle automatically... – George Jan 14 '22 at 15:49

For me I realized that hooks don't work when opening through the launcher.

instead I opened SourceTree through the terminal by running this command:

/Applications/SourceTree.app/Contents/MacOS/Sourcetree

I had the same issue on Ubuntu when trying to updating my npm version by using:

sudo npm install -g npm

I've solved by doing the same without sudo:

npm install -g npm

If you already installed nvm or node before and it worked, I would suggest to try to refresh your bash startup file. For example source .bash_profile

There are multiple bash startup file sometimes, you can check which one contains the nvm environment export setting to locate it.
