git cannot find installed nodejs

Problem Description

When using Git Bash to perform Git command operations, it was found that Git could not find the installed Node.js, resulting in the inability to perform related Git operations.

Solution

Cause analysis:

The environment variable PATH in Git Bash may not contain the installation directory of Node.js, causing Git to not find Node.js.

The solution steps are as follows:

1. Open Git Bash

Find Git in the start menu and click Git Bash to open the command line terminal.

2. Find the Node.js installation directory

Enter the following command in the command line terminal:

where node

This command will query the installation location of Node.js in the system, and Output the location. As shown in the figure below, multiple versions of Node.js are installed in the system.

Here, we take `C:Program Files
odejs
ode.exe` as an example. If multiple Node.js installation locations are queried, you need to determine the Node.js version of the application and select a correct installation directory.

3. Edit the environment variables of Git Bash

In the Git Bash command line terminal, enter the following command:

vi ~/.bash_profile

This command will open the environment variable configuration file of Git Bash , we need to add the installation directory of Node.js to this file to make it part of the environment variable PATH.

Press i to enter edit mode and copy the following configuration code into the configuration file:

# Set PATH to include Node.js installed location
export PATH=$PATH:"C:Program Files
odejs"

It should be noted here that the path in the configuration file should be replaced with your actual The installation location of the Node.js being used. And it should be noted that the directory separator under Windows system is `, while under Linux system it is /, so the directory separator needs to be replaced with /` in Git Bash.

After editing is completed, press the ESC key to exit the editing mode, and then enter the command :wq to save and exit the configuration file.

4. Restart Git Bash

Close Git Bash, reopen the command line terminal, and enter the following command:

echo $PATH

This command will output the PATH containing the Node.js installation directory environment variables. As shown below.

At this point, we try to execute the Git command again to see if it can be executed normally.

Summary

After following the above steps, we can use Node.js related commands in Git Bash to implement Git related operations. It should be noted that the environment variables configured in Git Bash only apply to the Git Bash command line terminal. If you need to use Node.js in other command line terminals, you need to add environment variables to the corresponding configuration file.
