Global Node modules not installing correctly. Command not found

Question

I am having a problem installing global node modules and everything I find online says the solve is just adding -g. Which is not the problem. I believe it\'s a linking issue

Check your global Node module's binary folder, and add it to your $PATH.

npm list -g | head -1

If you use nodenv, the path will change whenever you install the global node version. Adding the path like this solves my problem.

"$HOME/.nodenv/versions/$(nodenv global)/bin"

Shortcut for adding the path to zsh

$ echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.nodenv/versions/$(nodenv global)/bin"' >> ~/.zshrc
