I have mac and was trying to install Alexa cli with below command:
sudo npm install -g ask-cli
My installation was showing successful but it was giving me below error on ask --version :
-bash: ask: command not found
I was using node version > 12
Finally after almost 6 hours of RnD i could solve this error by downgrading node to version 8
Below are the detailes what i did:
THis was my prev version which was giving error
Anands-MacBook-Air:~ anand$ node -v v13.6.0
How to downgrade to lower version of node :
Anands-MacBook-Air:~ anand$ sudo npm cache clean -f
npm WARN using --force I sure hope you know what you are doing.
Anands-MacBook-Air:~ anand$ sudo npm install -g n
/usr/local/bin/n -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/n/bin/n + n@6.1.3
updated 1 package in 27.206s
Anands-MacBook-Air:~ anand$ sudo n 8 5.8
installing : node-v8.17.0 mkdir : /usr/local/n/versions/node/8.17.0 fetch : https://nodejs.org/dist/v8.17.0/node-v8.17.0-darwin-x64.tar.gz installed : v8.17.0 (with npm 6.13.4)
Anands-MacBook-Air:~ anand$ node -v
v8.17.0
Then did below :
Anands-MacBook-Air:~ anand$ sudo npm install -g ask-cli
Anands-MacBook-Air:~ anand$ ask --version
1.7.22
Anands-MacBook-Air:~ anand$
Hope it will help someone.
Exiting out of the terminal session and opening up a new terminal session solved this for me on MacOS.
