I'm trying to get realm-cli running, installing it globally with the usual
npm install -g mongodb-realm-cli
It seems to install it alright, I can see it in Users/<Username>/AppData/Roaming/npm. There is the executable file without extension with contents below
#!/bin/sh
basedir=$(dirname "$(echo "$0" | sed -e 's,\\,/,g')")
case `uname` in
*CYGWIN*|*MINGW*|*MSYS*) basedir=`cygpath -w "$basedir"`;;
esac
if [ -x "$basedir/node" ]; then
exec "$basedir/node" "$basedir/node_modules/mongodb-realm-cli/wrapper.js" "$@"
else
exec node "$basedir/node_modules/mongodb-realm-cli/wrapper.js" "$@"
fi
As well as a .cmd and .ps1 files.
When I run a test command "realm-cli --profile --help", I get the error:
C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\npm/node_modules/node/bin/node: line 1: This: command not found
Right now, logging "where npm" gives me:
C:\Program Files\nodejs\npm
C:\Program Files\nodejs\npm.cmd
C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\npm\npm
C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\npm\npm.cmd
And "which npm" gives:
/c/Program Files/nodejs/npm
I'm guessing it's some issue with either versions or installation directory for Node.js but I'm unsure how to fix it.
The ProgramFiles folder seems to contain the actual npm executable, whereas the Roaming/npm folder contains the globally installed packages. So I'm not sure these logs show any problem.
I tried adding the Roaming/npm folder to environmental variable path but it was no help. I made sure to put the variable in both User and System variables just in case, and always before any other mention of npm/node.
Of course I also tried uninstalling, clearing the npm cache and reinstalling the package. I tried other packages also to make sure it wasn't an isolated issue.
Any help or clues? Thanks
EDIT/SOLVED: I believe something must've went wrong a while ago when I tried to install NVM without properly removing all Node.js files first. I did a complete uninstall of Node.js and NVM (using the solution listed here as ref), and reinstalled NVM (and Node.js through NVM). Now it works fine.
