Issue in running installed global package's cli

[gitcommitshow]

Facing an issue with installing gitcommitshow/open-community-kit globally. The install command runs successfully but its cli cannot be accessed from the terminal

Operating system and version:

How did you install nvm?

Install script in readme

What steps did you perform?

1. npm install -g open-community-kit
2. open-community-kit mozilla

What happened?

-bash: open-community-kit: command not found

What did you expect to happen?

The command should have run

Is there anything in any of your profile files that modifies the PATH?

Didn't make any changes in path explicitely except for what was suggested in nvm readme.

The issue is that you're using node 14, but npm root -g points to a node 12. Have you perhaps defined prefix in ~/.npmrc or your project's .npmrc?

[gitcommitshow]

I see. It's weird. I do see some entries in ~/.npmrc

prefix=${NVM_DIR}/versions/node/v12.18.3
@OWNER:registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com/
//npm.pkg.github.com/:_authToken=secret
@gitcommitshow:registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com/
//registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=secret

This seems to be probably done during npm package publishing. Is it expected? What is the cleanest way to fix this?

[ljharb]

That prefix entry must be removed and shouldn't ever have been there in the first place. Remove that, and you'll be fine.

[gitcommitshow]

thanks. this works. will figure out how to work with npm packages now.
