How can I fix the 'npm not recognized' error in Shopify node serve?

[fyardlest]

Hello World! Hope you doing well.

Can someone help me to solve this?: after using "shopify node create" I run "shopify node serve" but it return "npm is not recognized as an internal or external command..." and "System call failed: npm run dev"

Thank you for your help guys!

Hi,

Do you have npm installed globally?

if not `npm i -g` would install it globally.
