Appcenter-cli: appcenter: command not found. Mac OS and ZSH

[otaviogaiao]

I'm installing appcenter on my react native project and I'm following the instructions on the docs. However, I can't use any appcenter command on my terminal.

I installed appcenter-cli a bunch of times (tried as root and as normal user). But nothing. I always get zsh: command not found: appcenter.

My setup is

Mac OS High Sierra, 10.13.5
Node 9.11.2
npm 5.6.0

Any help is appreciated.

Hey there @otaviogaiao! Let's debug. First, you have to install Node.js version 8 or higher. When you run npm install -g appcenter-cli, what is the error message that appears?

[otaviogaiao]

@amchew I just found out what the issue is. For some reason the package is being installed under another version of node other than what I'm using (I'm also using the N package manager).

I can take care from here.

Thank you!!
Closing the issue!

@otaviogaiao no problem, and cool 💯 !

Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

appcenter version 2.1.2
node v10.16.3
react-native . 0.58.5
while linking react-native link appcenter
error shows command not found

[sergii-frost]

Is it still not working with these versions of tools?

appcenter-cli v2.3.0
node v10.16.3
npm v6.9.0

As mentioned in one of the comments before, appcenter-cli is installed under another version of node:

➜  npm install -g appcenter-cli
/usr/local/Cellar/node/10.8.0/bin/appcenter -> /usr/local/Cellar/node/10.8.0/lib/node_modules/appcenter-cli/bin/appcenter.js

PS: as a workaround I can run it via /usr/local/Cellar/node/10.8.0/bin/appcenter ...

@sergii-frost can you explain further on how I can run the workaround?

[ravindranpandu]

For anyone else still facing this issue, try using yarn to install appcenter-cli, i spent almost an hour and at last went with yarn and it works as a charm

yarn global add appcenter-cli
