Strapi Development mode issue

Question

I am new to strapi and want to start it on development mode. Below are steps I have followed so far

git clone git@github.com:strapi/strapi.git
cd strapi
npm run setup

but then while generating a project somewhere else using the development mode: i am getting error on running below command as

'strapi' is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file.

strapi new myDevProject --dev

any help? I have uninstalled strapi global as documentation pointed. Anything I am missing. Do I need to install non global version of strapi in the same directory.

Thanks

It sounds to me that you might need to setup your path to find Strapi. How to update your path is different depending on your operation system. e.i. PATH=$PATH:/path/to/strapi/bin — dirbacke, Sep 10 '19 at 08:09

You can install Strapi globally in your machine using npm without the need of pulling the repo manually:

npm install -g strapi@beta

Restart your terminal, then run:

strapi new [project_name] --quickstart

Then your project will start automatically :)

Putting npx before strapi will resolve this issue . So instead of strapi develop , run following command:

npx strapi develop

After pull repository and install strapi@beta globally you need generate new project by command like in the bellow instructions:

Create a new project
strapi new my-project
Start your project
cd my-project
strapi develop

For existing projects you are cloning on a different machine, just don't forget to:

npm install

Resolved

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

for me

As the above answers you can install the strapi-cli globally, or once your project is created use below commands to run it

npm run build
npm start

please proceed the following steps:

step1 - open node.js command prompt and type -> npm install strapi@alpha g

step2 - strapi new (anyName_You_want_toGive) --quickstart

(remove the brackets)

it should look like

strapi new anyName_You_want_toGive --quickstart

thats all.

Thanks

I had already deployed my strapi app in development and successfully ran strapi develop but it didnt work for me in recent times.

This did though:

npm run dev

I was able to get the local strapi host running but I did get some npm errors.
