/bin/sh: line 1: npm: command not found using linux, nvm

[husudosu]

Hey,
The issue is similar to the mac related error discussed here: ionic-team/vscode-extension#90

The /bin/sh: line 1: npm: command not found error disappears when I'm change "Shell Path" in ionic plugin settings to this

PATH=$PATH:/home/sudosu/.nvm/versions/node/v20.9.0/bin /bin/zsh 

In this case I get a failed state without reason.

Environment:

• OS: Manjaro
• Node version: v20.9.0
• NPM Version: 10.1.0

What can I do to fix this issue?
Thanks in advance!

You'll need to have node (and npm) in your path for your terminal (specifically the one VS Code is using).

This is part of installing node and one way you can do this is cd to the path you installed node and run:

$ echo "export PATH=\$PATH:$(pwd)" >> ~/.bashrc

(then restart VS Code for it to take effect).

Your path may be stored in /etc/profile or ~/. profile depending on how you have configured your OS.

If you are using nvm for your project you'll still need to have the paths for node for VS Code and the extension defined because the version you use for your project is not the same as the one you use for VS Code/Extension.
