Learnyounode doesn't run (Node.js 4.3.2 and Win 10)

[EmppuTheEngineer]

Yep, another one, since restarting neither node.js or computer didn't worked and google really didn't give me other solutions.

So, I've installed learnyounode via command line, however, it won't run. While I write learnyounode on the command line, it will return the following;

'learnyounode' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I have installed both node.js and learnyounode (apparently successfully, since node.js works with other project and I can find the learnyounode-files on node_modules). I have also tried to navigate to node_modules directory to start learnyounode from there, but no success so far. With node_modules-directory it gives the same answer and with node_modules/learnyounode-directory it starts the file with another program.

And I have googled this issue, yet it only brought me such solutions where learnyounode worked fine after restarting either computer or node.js, which didn't really work for me.

Thanks beforehand!

Hello, it works fine for me. Are you sure you ran the command: npm install learnyounode -g

@EmppuTheEngineer Have you found a way?

[pramodvspk]

It doesnt work for me too, how to make this work?

[MystK]

Guys, in order to get help, you have to help us help you. Did anyone try running the command I put?

You need to install it with -g option (it's mean you will install learyounode in global environment).

npm install -g learnyounode does not work on windows 10, then menu / arrow keys do not work on either cmd.exe or powershell.exe

It works find on linux though, I assume it's a bug with windows.

[MystK]

Do you have Node installed? If npm install doesn't work, you don't have Node installed.

[Stateford]

@MystK yes ofc i have node installed, it arrow keys do not work on the menu, and pressing enter creates a new line outside of the menu screen.

As I said it works find on linux, but on windows it's bugged.

[MystK]

@idietmoran, it sounds like npm install -g learnyounode does work and you do not have the same issue as this issue...

[Stateford]

@MystK I must've commented in the wrong issue, sorry.

windows 10, node 6.2 (cmd.exe, cmd.exe w/ admin rights, git bash prompt) all 3 same thing as below.

C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules> npm install learnyounode -g C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules> cd learnyounode C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\learnyounode>node learnyounode.js (empty space) C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\learnyounode>

not sure were to look for any sort of log files or commands to output errors.

@boggen I don't quite know what your problem is but I can offer you to contact me via gitter: https://gitter.im/martinheidegger to arrange for a debug session?!

The documentation is broken in the Windows install. The following worked for me:

• install using the -g switch
• from the Node.js Command Prompt and the plain command prompt both of these work:
  • c:\Users\<yourUserName>\AppData\Roaming\npm\learnyounode.cmd
  • learnyounode (takes a while, hunts on the path)

node learnyounode fails every time for me. Arrows in the cmd prompt work - Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.14393]
