How to include the path for the node binary npm was executed with

Question

Windows, VSC, Running npm start got this

npm WARN lifecycle The node binary used for scripts is C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node.exe but npm

Answer 1

Like I said, replacing the actual path in PATH system variable didn't fix the problem completely, it still complained about binary is missing. Found this solved the there is no node binary in the current PATH problem. Restored the original PATH, tried it worked.

Simply create a file at the root folder of the app, called .npmrc, place this line into it:

scripts-prepend-node-path=true
