When I write (firebase init) my comando doesn't work, it would look like the image with the big firebase sign

It seems like your $HOME/.npm-global/bin is not in your $PATH
You can learn more about it here: https://coolestguidesontheplanet.com/add-shell-path-osx/
If you will still have a problem, please run echo $PATH and paste the output here.

It still doesn't work :( Maybe I did something wrong with Picture Number 1?

As you can see it doesn鈥檛 show up in your $PATH. Did you save the file? Did you restart your terminal?

I can also highly recommend using https://brew.sh to make installing everything on the MacOS much easier, so you don鈥檛 run into problems like this.

You can run
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.npm-global/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile, restart your terminal and you should be good.
Pro tip for the future: when you fix something, try to understand why didn鈥檛 it work earlier and why does it work now. The most important thing in programming is to learn every single day.
