zsh: command not found: jhipster

Question

I couldn't run jhipster generator, got error: zsh: command not found: jhipster

My system is Ubuntu 16.04, I use zsh:

➜ yarn global add generator-jhipster
yarn global v0.24.5
warning No license field
[1/4] Resolving packages...
[2/4] Fetching packages...

success Installed "[email protected]" with binaries:
      - jhipster
warning No license field
Done in 1.87s.
➜ jhipster
zsh: command not found: jhipster

What did I missed?

Also I have this in my .zshrc:

# npm
export PATH="$PATH:/home/romanovi/.npm-global/bin"
export NODE_PATH="$NODE_PATH:/home/romanovi/.npm-global/lib/node_modules"

# Yarn
export PATH="$PATH:`yarn global bin`"

Answer 1

I had the same problem and solved it by running yarn global bin and adding the returned value to my PATH.

Answer 2

There seems to be an issue with the last update of jhipster to jhipster cli. Can you try yo jhipster instead while #JHipster try to fix the jhipster cli.

Answer 3

This issue seems to be fixed. Reinstall generator-jhipster and it is working again.

yarn global add generator-jhipster

Answer 4

We had an issue yesterday with JHipster v4.5.0, it should be solved today with v4.5.1. Can you try it out?

Don't hesitate to give feedback on https://github.com/jhipster/generator-jhipster/issues/5797

Update Dec 2018

Just updating the path didn't work for me. I had to also set the yarn prefix.

• Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS (bionic)
• yarn 1.12.3
• npm v3.5.2
• node v8.10.0
• zsh

Steps

1. Confirm your global bin path

   yarn global bin
   

I got: /home/username/.yarn/bin

2. set yarn prefix:

   make sure your yarn prefix is the parent directory of your bin directory. You can confirm by running

   yarn config get prefix
   

   when I ran this, my prefix was empty, so I set it:

   yarn config set prefix ~/.yarn
   

3. add the following to ~/.bash_profile

   export PATH="$PATH:`yarn global bin`"
   

   for zsh users, be sure to add this line to ~/.zshrc

4. restart your shell or start a new one

   bash -l or zsh

Update September 2019

Just saw this problem on Mac OSX. I gave up on yarn for this.

Instead, I ran npm install -g generator-jhipster instead, and everything installed as expected.

❯ jhipster --version                                   

INFO! Using JHipster version installed globally
6.2.0

Try with sudo.

sudo yarn global add generator-jhipster

Altercate

Can someone explain me why this is wrong? It was worked for me. and with the experience of npm, we used to use 'sudo' to installing global packages. thats why I use same with yarn. – Altercate

it is less save to do it with sudo. – Bonar
