Can't access to express from console, windows 7 express lates

Question

I'm new in node js, I'm triying to install globally express

npm i -g express

all completes, but when I enter express --help it says that it's not inside or outside command, however when i enter supervisor it runs OK. I looked into pathof express and there is no any .cmd file. If the problem is that. How should i fix it?

Please help.

Answer 1

Installing npm install -g express will install express 4. Express 4 separates the generator from express. What you need to do is to run:

 $ npm install -g express-generator

Then it will work.

Answer 2

As stated in express Readme [1], you need to install express generator separately, using following command:

npm install -g express-generator@3
