uh hello guys uh welcome to this video
0:02
So in this video I will show you if you
0:05
are getting a error message while
0:07
accessing NodeJS from your terminal If
0:10
you type here node and it is this error
0:13
message is showing you that node is not
0:15
recognized as an internal or external
0:18
command So typically means that uh you
0:21
haven't installed node or you haven't
0:23
added the node installation from your
0:25
path So I'm assuming that you have the
0:29
latest version of NodeJS installed If
0:32
you haven't then just type node download
0:34
and download the latest
0:36
version and just click the download
0:38
button
0:40
and selected operating system So if you
0:44
have installed NodeJS and if you are
0:47
seeing this error message then this is a
0:50
step two So just search for NodeJS from
0:52
the start menu and right click open file
0:58
location and this will come right here
1:01
again right click open file location and
1:03
by default the installation is there
1:06
inside your C program files NodeJS So
1:09
just open your C drive and there is a
1:12
folder called as program files
1:16
So this is actually the
1:18
folder and if you have installed NodeJS
1:22
this will actually create this folder
1:25
NodeJS And you just need to uh copy this
1:28
location and uh if for some reason you
1:31
have removed it from your environment
1:33
variable just open environment variable
1:36
and just go to system
1:38
variable and just select the path here
1:42
edit and just add a new entry in
1:45
this just paste this location
1:50
So that's all that we need to do and
1:52
just click okay Okay And just you need
1:55
to restart the terminal right here Again
1:58
type the same command
2:01
node So now you will see uh node can be
2:04
accessed It is printing out the version
2:08
23.7.0 So in this easy way guys you can
2:11
fix this error message If for some
2:13
reason if you have removed the location
2:15
from the environment variable just add
2:18
this as shown in this video And thank
