uh hello guys uh welcome to this video
0:03
so in this video I will show you that uh
0:05
how to fix this error message nvm is not
0:09
recognized as an internal or external
0:11
command uh nvm guys is nothing but is a
0:15
node version manager if you want to
0:18
manage multiple versions of NodeJS on a
0:20
single device then this software comes
0:22
into the picture and if you have
0:25
installed nvm but if you can't access it
0:27
using the terminal if you're getting
0:29
this error
0:30
message then obviously first of all you
0:33
do need to install
0:36
nvm so if you just type here npm
0:38
download on
0:40
windows the very first link which comes
0:43
right here this is actually the website
0:46
where you can
0:47
actually download the exe file
0:52
so I already downloaded the .exe file
0:55
from here you just click the download
0:58
button and it will redirect you to the
0:59
releases page this is the .exe file
1:02
right
1:03
here so for fixing this error message by
1:08
default NVM is stored in the C
1:11
drive and just search for the folder
1:14
users so whatever is your username which
1:17
in my case is ASUS and then search for
1:20
the folder app
1:22
data so just go to this folder and then
1:26
go to the roaming folder this is
1:28
actually the folder roaming and after
1:31
that just search for the folder right
1:33
here
1:35
nvm so this is actually the folder right
1:38
here where nvm is stored and if you try
1:42
to open uh terminal right here just type
1:46
the same command
1:48
npm you will see the command will
1:50
perfectly work it will list out the
1:53
different kinds of NodeJS versions I'm
1:56
currently using in this
1:58
system so if you want to use it globally
2:03
without having to open this location and
2:05
type terminal right here just copy this
2:07
entire location right click
2:09
copy and then open your environment
2:13
variable and then simply go to
2:16
environment variable and go to the
2:18
system
2:20
variable and edit and add a new entry
2:24
paste this
2:25
location so just paste this entire
2:28
location and just click okay okay okay
2:30
and now just restart the terminal and
