zsh: command not found: cdk means the cdk did not run, probably because it wasn't found in path. You might have not installed it correctly. Since this is a support request, Github isn't the right place to ask.

You probably did not install cdk at all. Try

npm install -g aws-cdk

Closing. Please direct follow-up questions to StackOverflow.

ZSH doesn't take into account what you put in your path via bashrc. Typically, Node could be broken by ZSH installation, and so your cdk-cli. You have to put your NVM on your path by copy pasting bashrc into zshrc. That should repair node and cdk at the same time. I hope that helps
