npx command does not work with visual studio code

npx : The term 'npx' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. At line:1 char:1

If npx is not recognized, then - it is not a problem with react scripts itself. It means that your machine can't execute npx command for some reason.

Might be

• You have an old version of the NPM that doesn't contain npx at all. You can check this using npm -v command
• Paths are not set up correctly (It looks like you are using Windows machine). Check the %PATH% variable

same problem bro

[shrivatsag]

how do u solve that

[Drag13]

@shrivatsag Try to update NPM to the latest vresion

[prof-fontanez]

This could be the result of installing Node.js while having VS Code open. The solution is simply to restart VS Code.

[mcg1nley]

As prof-fontanez has pointed out above me, restarting vscode should fix it. I can confirm that this has worked for me!

Closing and opening VS Code solved it in my case.

@shrivatsag Try to update NPM to the latest vresion

do you have links for the updated version

[Fosberg-codex]

You should make sure you close VS code whiles installing node.js ; in this case close and reopen VS code to try the command.

[utkarsh-1602]

Same Problem !! . What to do ??

[rehsan-akturk]

Same problem .I solved it like, you need to install Node.js Then restart VS code.

Had the same issue, solved by closing the terminal inside visual studio code (there's a kill terminal option in the upper right corner of the terminal screen), then reopened as a new terminal and worked

[jobinj1689]

Had the same issue .The following are the 2 things you need to do

1. Install the latest version of npm using below command npm install -g [email protected]
2. Close the VS Code editor .. reopen it .. Kill the terminal (you will find this on the upper right corner) .. Now open the new terminal and execute the npx command

[S2B2]

Try killing the terminal and restart

[ismailthasreef]

1. First check environment variable is set by going to my computer properties, if not add environment variable.
2. Delete exisitng project folder
3. Create new folder and open it on vscode and run 'npx' on Terminal, it will show your nodejs path
4. Now create new react project and keep coding

Happy coding 😊

[swatiaggrawal]

@ismailthasreef can you please elaborate how to set environment variables for this?

Install Node.js in your machine..Just visit node.js and download for the os you are running on.React is dependent on Node

After Installing Node.js Restart VSCode then try create-react-app my-react-app

[storshun]

Nothing above worked for me. I found the answer to my specific issue on stack exchange.

In VSCode Preferences: Open Settings (JSON) add to the JSON file:

"terminal.integrated.env.windows": {
   "PATH": "${env:PATH}"
},

-> terminal.integrated.env should end with .osx, .linux or .windows depending on your OS. Make sure you aren't duplicating an existing path object.

In order to check if it works execute in your VS Code Terminal:

# For PowerShell
echo $env:PATH
# For bash
echo "$PATH"

[tanay-ictlayer]

This could happen if the VS code is open while installing node .Just restart the VS code .Hopefully the issue will be solved .

[manjunath1818]

works fine after restarting vscode
