'expo' is not recognized as an internal or external command

Question

After running npm install -g expo-cli and successfully installing the packages globally, expo is still not recognized as an internal or external co

Answer 1

If you need a solution to Run Expo command without Environment Variable update then on your terminal use below command for windows system:

R:\> C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Roaming\npm\expo.cmd init {projectname}

Where you directly point the expo.cmd file rather than specifying in the environment variable.

And update the expo to C:\Users{user}\AppData\Roaming\npm\expo.cmd in package.json to run the project.

// package.json
"scripts": {
    "start": "C:\\Users\\{user}\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\\expo.cmd start",
    "android": "C:\\Users\\{user}\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\\expo.cmd start --android",
    "ios": "C:\\Users\\{user}\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\\expo.cmd start --ios",
    "web": "C:\\Users\\{user}\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\\expo.cmdstart --web",
    "eject": "C:\\Users\\{user}\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\\expo.cmd eject"
  },
