Reinstall global packages after updating node using NVM
Sep 21, 2023
Node Version Manager (nvm) is a tool I use on a daily basis. Lately, we have upgraded some projects to newer Node versions and this is causing some problems.
The problem
My global packages (like cdk) were installed when I was still running version 16. Now I'm running version 18 and those packages are not globally available anymore.
The same can happen when running nvm install upgrades Node to a new minor or patch version.
The solution
Next time this happens to you, follow these steps:
- Run
nvm listto find the previously installed version, the one that "contains" the global packages - Run
nvm reinstall-packages <previousVersion>to get your global packages back.
Bonus
If you want to get a list of all globally installed packages, run
npm list -g --depth 0.
