From you own project.

npx nodemon [your-app.js]

With a local installation, nodemon will not be available in your system path. Instead, the local installation of nodemon can be run by calling it from within an npm script (such as npm start) or using npx nodemon.

Create a simple symbolik link

ln -s /Users/YourUsername/.npm-global/bin/nodemon /usr/local/bin

ln -s [from: where is you install 'nodemon'] [to: folder where are general module for node]

node : v12.1.0

npm : 6.9.0

Answer 2

sudo su

npm install nodemon

Just writing what did worked for me - (on Windows machine, installing node locally to the project) if you do not want to install it globally (i.e without -g flag) you have to use

npx nodemon app

where app is your app.js is your program file to launch.

Answer 4

In Windows git bash, I fixed it by restarting git bash

I'm using macOS/Linux, the solution that works for me is

npx nodemon index.js 

I have tried every possibility, like uninstalling and installing nodemon, installing nodemon globally. restart the terminal, but it won't work.

don't try such things to waste your time.

Put --exec arg in single quotation.

e.g. I changed "nodemon --exec yarn build-langs" to "nodemon --exec 'yarn build-langs'" and worked.
