Command not found - installing ganache-cli with yarn on Visual Studio

[darkmansaturne]

I've installed nodeJS in the terminal of Visual Studio version :
v16.13.1

Yarn
1.22.17

Ganache-cli

MacBook:web3_py_simple_storage myName$ yarn global add ganache-cli

yarn global v1.22.17 warning ../package.json: No license field [1/4] 🔍 Resolving packages... [2/4] 🚚 Fetching packages... [3/4] 🔗 Linking dependencies... [4/4] 🔨 Building fresh packages... success Installed "[email protected]" with binaries: - ganache-cli ✨ Done in 1.10s.

BUT when I try to do ganache-cli --version, I always received the same msg bash: ganache-cli: command not found... I maybe think it's a path problem but I tried a lot and a lot of solution and still nothing..

I really thanks a lot in advance the guy who will help me !

Hello @darkmansaturne
Yep this is due to the node_modules are not added to your path ( in this case the packages you add with yarn), i strongly suggest you to reinstall node using brew (is the best option for mac), and also get a look about how to add node packages to path on Macos (depends a lot on the version so you would have to do a little bit of googling).

Thank you for responding ! That's what I done but look, I have ganache-cli installed in my .bin directory. I use the right path to use ganache-cli and still command not found...

MacBook:web3_py_simple_storage myname$ ganache-cli --version bash: ganache-cli: command not found MacBook:web3_py_simple_storage myname$ ganache-cli bash: ganache-cli: command not found MacBook:web3_py_simple_storage myname$ yarn --version 1.22.17 MacBook:web3_py_simple_storage myname$ node --version v16.13.1 MacBook:web3_py_simple_storage myname$ ganache --version bash: ganache: command not found MacBook:web3_py_simple_storage myname$ cd /Users/myname/demos/web3_py_simple_storage/node_modules/.bin MacBook:.bin myname$ use ganache-cli bash: use: command not found MacBook:.bin myname$ ganache-cli bash: ganache-cli: command not found MacBook:.bin myname$ find . -name ganache-cli ./ganache-cli

Okay I find it.. I'm a big shit 😃 If people have the same problem, just write yarn ganache-cli instead of ganache-cli ! Thanks @cromewar 🤘

That's why a suggested to add yarn packages to path, to avoid using yarn each time. But I'm glad you find this workaround.
