nodenv: command not found while trying to create virtualenv in node

Question

I'm trying to create a virtualenv in a node.js project to manage nodejs dependancies like grunt, bower, etc.

Trying to use nodeenv for that.

But its not getting recognized. I did both npm install nodeenv and with -g flag as well. The dependancy is installed in my node_modules as well, still getting this error.

What are you trying to achive? Just to create a file from which you can load environment variables? — D.J.

Had to install python in my system, and then pip install nodeenv to make it work(for windows).

Linux users can directly sudo apt-get install nodeenv to get nodeenv and start working with it.

➜  ~ nodeenv   myenv   
 * Install prebuilt node (10.10.0) ..... done.

after this you need to activate node virtualenv

➜  ~ source myenv/bin/activate
(myenv) ➜  ~

now you install all your node modules.

remember to activate your virtualnev whenever you need to use those modules.

you can deactivate your virtualenv with below command

(myenv) ➜  ~ deactivate_node
➜  ~

Yeah the flow explained here is correct, but the problem was that nodeenv wasn't getting recognised by the system after npm install
