Common Install Issues

"command not found: flash"

npm global bin isn't in your PATH.

# Find your npm prefix
npm config get prefix

# Add to PATH (example for /usr/local)
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"

Add the export line to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc to persist.

"permission denied"

# Option 1: sudo
sudo npm install -g flash-terminal

# Option 2: fix npm prefix (better)
mkdir ~/.npm-global
npm config set prefix '~/.npm-global'
export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH

Node.js too old

node --version
# If below v20, download LTS from https://nodejs.org/
