Node http server - http: command not found

Question

I get the error mentioned above in the title, after installing http server on my OSX with

npm install http-server -g

It installed it in

/usr/local/bin/http-server -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/http-server/bin/http-server
/usr/local/bin/hs -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/http-server/bin/http-server
/usr/local/lib

I tried adding a path since I saw that as a suggestion here like this

 PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/lib/node_modules/http-server

I have run the wrong command instead of http-server I entered http server — Ludwig

You are on linux environment. Try This command to export path

export NODE_PATH=$NODE_PATH:/usr/local/lib/node_modules/

Then run your app.
