-bash: cdk: command not found , after installing AWS CDK

Question

I have installed the AWS CDK as per the instructions here : https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk

npm i -g aws-cdk ran happily, however when I run cdk from the command line the result is

$ cdk
-bash: cdk: command not found

Following the manual install instructions did not fix this.

This turned out to be the node version. I was using node v10, and it needed to be v12.

I used nvm to change versions

nvm use 12.0

and now cdk works.

You can automatically change your node version by using a .nvmrc file that specifies it and [this solution](https://stackoverflow.com/a/50378304/5805858) – vladvel Oct 04 '19 at 07:22

if you using Windows 10 powershell check policy and Linux systems :

try again using:

sudo npm install -g typescript

next try :

sudo npm install @aws-cdk/aws-s3 @aws-cdk/aws-lambda
