  • Assuming node.js is already installed, you need to set node.js folder path into system variables or user variables. Refer this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23412938/node-is-not-recognized-as-an-internal-or-an-external-command-operable-program – Rahul Singh Jul 15 '20 at 17:05

I think that your problem can be for two things, please check the following:

  • Bcrypt 5 it's the newest version of this package, and this package have some issues with some node's versions, we can see this here. Although it does not show version 5, it is very recent and it is possible that it is not documented. Try to update the node version (I recommend to use nvm to achieve this or test your bcrypt in a testing project with a more recent node version.

  • Node isn't recognized. Try to execute node in the terminal and see if you're entering in the REPL. If not, and an error message it's displayed, this can be a signal that you don't have nodejs. Again, I recommend use nvm to install it.
