Description

Describe the issue that you're seeing.
after running npm install --global gatsby-cli

I get something like this

$ npm i -g gatsby-cli
C:\Users\adity\AppData\Roaming\npm\gatsby -> C:\Users\adity\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\gatsby-cli\lib\index.js
+ [email protected]
updated 1 package in 21.909s

but while trying to to run gatsby new gatsby-site

it gives

Actual result

bash: gatsby: command not found.

Environment

operating system  :   windows 10
 $ node --version
    v10.12.0
  $ npm --version
    6.4.1

Run gatsby info --clipboard in your project directory and paste the output here. Not working? You may need to update your global gatsby-cli - npm install -g gatsby-cli

Is any actual gatsby command working for you? Did you open a new terminal/console window to try the command?

At C:\Users\adity\AppData\Roaming\npm You should have a bin folder I think for global modules, and there should be a gatsby file there, go to that location and try the gatsby command again, it should work then, if that's the case then you need this bin directory in your PATH variable, which would be an issue with the way you installed Node/NPM rather than gatsby.

I have only two foders "bin" and "node_modules". there is no "bin" folder

I am so confused..

I have only two foders "bin" and "node_modules". there is no "bin" folder

@adityakmr7 you just said one of the two folders is "bin", then you say that there isn't a "bin" folder.. what?

That's awesome to hear! Have fun with gatsby!

@wardpeet ...what? Was there more context to this earlier that's been deleted? OP hasn't confirmed they've solved the issue have they? What's awesome to hear?

Shouldn't be closed. Currently getting the same issue on Mac with a fresh install.

[wardpeet]

I probably was on a different issue and probably just messed up while commenting. Sorry about this.

seems like you have a bin folder? could you echo out your $PATH variable. Run echo $PATH.
