I have installed a new Laravel 8 application, and then I ran...

npm install

Afterward, I ran...

npm run dev

I get the following error.

'mix' is not recognized as an internal or external command


> @ dev E:\wamp64\www\Laravel8Projects\Laravel_Livewire_JetStream_Projects\jetstream_blog
> npm run development

Likely you need to install the latest version of Laravel Mix.

npm install laravel-mix@latest --save-dev

It will happen when your cache holds previous files.Clear the cache and install the npm again

npm cache clean --force

then:

npm install

npm fix audit

then:

npm run development

    Installing webpack globally is not recommended https://webpack.js.org/guides/installation/#global-installation. `Note that this is [webpack global installation] not a recommended practice. Installing globally locks you down to a specific version of webpack and could fail in projects that use a different version` – Ihar Aliakseyenka Jul 02 '21 at 13:42

    I resolved installing laravel-mix globally. Probably you should remove the 3rd line anyway – realtebo Sep 29 '21 at 08:13

NPM INSTALL it will repair it It hapenned because you have some stuff installed after previous NMP I

So, in any strange situation - NPM INSTALL again)

package.json requires you to run mix-watch command but it doesnt work

a simple fix that worked for me is running npm run watch it worked for me laravel 8 project
