Nodemon is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

Try using ./node_modules/.bin/nodemon and let us know if it worked…

Nodemon is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

it didnt work in cmd but when i tried it in git bash, it worked
then i put it in a bat file and that also worked

But the problem i have to keep putting the nodemon and .bin folders into node_modules and a load of other folders that it asks for and it can get really annoying

I updated Node from 10.16.0 to 10.16.3 and now it works again fine.

I have the same issues as you guys, never have had this issue before. I am currently on 10.16.3 although and its still broken.

This issue is related to your node configuration. It's not be set to work for globally installed files (not sure how though, I don't use windows).

That error is telling you that Windows doesn't know how to execute the nodemon command. If you try node ./node_modules/.bin/nodemon I'm pretty sure it'll work (I'll reopen this issue if it doesn't).

If prefixing with node, it means that there's a machine setup problem, rather than nodemon.

If it doesn't work prefixed with node, then there's something else at play and I'll reopen.

Something is very wrong. I install Node for Windows using the official installer (without installing the additional tools). I run the global install command for nodemon. I see there is a new folder for nodemon in the relevant global node_modules folder. However, Windows (8.1) still cannot find nodemon.

Windows can execute node itself because there is a batch file for it. However, aside from a couple of other batch files, there's no other executable, and no executable for nodemon. The nodemon binary is not a binary but a JavaScript file. Nevertheless, there's nothing equivalent to a wrapper that runs node nodemon post-install.

you have to do C:\>"./node_modules/.bin/nodemon" -v
in windows

Actually in 2021 I had the same problem, the DOCS should be made explicit to tell Windows users to use back-slash
$./node_modules/.bin/nodemon
should be ON WINDOWS

.\node_modules.bin\nodemon
