add possible missing step

Thank you for the pull request. Did you get an error running just the command? npx should normally do the installation automatically.

i get: # npm-check-updates; -bash: npm-check-updates: command not found Thank you, Mark Edwards

The command is $ npx npm-check-updates (note the npx)

yes i did that and got the error i showed you before. 😁 but maybe something might be wrong in my setup....? imho, i would also terminate every command with a semicolon for readability sake so that way it's clear if this is a new command or an extension of the previous command. but again, imho. happy April 1st to you! Thank you, Mark Edwards

What happens if you run something like npx http-server?

[edwardsmarkf]

It does look like something with your setup - on MacOS and Linux I definitely recommend using nvm - installed normally with local permissions - with one of the later Node versions.

for fun i did the following - looks like you are correct: 1) google-vm centos-8 2-6 from https://gist.github.com/leandrino/e84ca31e69e7803bcf7d91996316cc79 2) dnf -y update ; 3) dnf install -y nodejs npm ; 4) npm install -g nvm ; #npm WARN deprecated ***@***.***: This is NOT the correct nvm. Visit http://nvm.sh and use the curl command to install it. 5 from https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm/blob/master/README.md 5) curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.38.0/install.sh | bash ; npm install -g n ; 6) npx -v ; 6.14.11 7) npm -v ; node -v ; 6.14.11 v10.24.0 8) npx http-server ; npx: installed 30 in 5.494s Starting up http-server, serving ./ Available on: http://127.0.0.1:8080 http://10.128.0.57:8080 Hit CTRL-C to stop the server Thank you, Mark Edwards

Yup, that's what npx http-server should show. The command from the docs would then also work. So it's likely some misconfiguration on your system. Common ones are wrong permissions or a wrong PATH

[edwardsmarkf]

ah gotcha - so move off of centos-7 and on to centos-8, or better yet, rocky-linux (even if its been delayed a month).😊 Thank you, Mark Edwards
