firebase-tools “-bash: firebase: command not found”

Question

Excited that Firebase\'s hosting is now out of beta. Trying to get going with with the firebase-tools package and I\'ve successfully installed it:

npm instal         


        

Answer 1

After installing

$ npm install -g firebase-tools

Note the directory where it istalled What I did was locate the directory where firebase was installed. In my case C:\usr\local then I copied the three firebase files. I also went into the node_modules folder and copied the firebase tools folder. Then I went to my app directory in file manager and pasted the firebase files, then created a new node_modules folder and pasted the firebase-tools folder.

Now go to your cmd and run

$ firebase init

It should work

Answer 2

None of above solutions worked, since I was using nvm for node versions

so instead of npm i -g firebase-tools

Use sudo npm i -g firebase-tools

Done!

Answer 3

This is for updated mac mac Os Catalina(10.15.1+) & on zsh.

1. Go to Terminal (vim .zprofile)
2. add this export PATH="/Users/Your Username/.npm-global/bin:$PATH"

Works for me!
