-bash: standard: command not found

[aaronhong]

The alias to use standard on the command line doesn't work. I did an npm install standard --save-dev. Not exactly sure how npm does command aliasing or adding stuff to PATH.

What version of standard?
12.0.1

What operating system, Node.js, and npm version?

• macOS 10.14.4
• Node.js v8.11.3
• npm 6.8.0

What did you expect to happen?

$ standard --help
standard - Use JavaScript Standard Style (https://standardjs.com)

Usage:
# etc

What actually happened?

$ standard --help
-bash: standard: command not found

What works for me

$ node_modules/standard/bin/cmd.js --help
standard - Use JavaScript Standard Style (https://standardjs.com)

Usage:
# etc

You need to run it by using npx and do npx standard --help or install it globally by doing npm install -g standard and then run standard --help.

@kevinrambaud makes complete sense. Thanks so much. Should this be added to the documentation?

Feel free to open a pull request if you think it could help people to get started more easily. The Usage section seems to be the appropriate place to do so.
