We could not find the 'npm' command. Make sure it's in $PATH

[davidhq]

I get this notification from subject.

but

$ which npm
/Users/david/n/bin/npm

works...

Not sure if it's related, when I add "hyperpower" plugin to .hyperterm.js and save it, nothing really happens and

$ ls .hyperterm_plugins/
local        package.json

Any suggestions ?

Should "hyperpower" plugin install automatically after saving the file and is this not happening because of the problem about not finding 'npm' command supposedly?

To test the hyperpower plugin, you'll need to reload/full reload hyperterm.

After full reload I get: “hyperpower” failed to load in the renderer
process. Check Developer Tools for details.

This is the culprit:
https://github.com/zeit/hyperterm/blob/master/plugins.js#L191-L193

Basically it's not in the OSX $PATH. I welcome ideas on how to fix this. Electron launches the process in a non-user shell, so I'm not 100% sure how to fix this yet.

Any ideas @zcbenz @jlord?

Temporary workaround: make npm accessible in /usr/local/bin or /usr/bin

[montogeek]

@rauchg Yeah, from my log on #89 it runs a different npm and node versions

@rauchg check out https://github.com/maxogden/user-env

Uhmm, when running the app in development mode (npm start) the problem does not exist :/

[nilliams]

Same issue. I have node and npm installed via nvm. Within the terminal (incl. hyperterm itself) I can npm --version, but hyperterm doesn't seem to be able to find it when editing plugins (adding 'hyperpower' gives the same We could not find the 'npm' command. Make sure it's in $PATH error).

Not sure if this is something that can be used internally by hyperterm.
