karma command not found when karma already installed - macos

I used node.js to install karma. My first try failed when running the following command on Terminal:
npm install -g karma
That failed so I decided to use:
sudo npm install -g karma
After entering my password it seemed to install correctly.
I am pasting part of the output of the install, maybe it will mean something to someone and it will be relevant to my question. After all the npm http messages this is what I see:
> ws#0.4.27 install /usr/local/share/npm/lib/node_modules/karma/node_modules/socket.io/node_modules/socket.io-client/node_modules/ws

karma init karma.config.js
this is the message that gets returned:

I have tried the same command with sudo before it but I get the same result.
Does anyone have any idea as to what is going on?
Any help is appreciated.
*Update!
I decided to check a file named: builderror.log

#mayankcpdixit gave the answer up there in a response to the OP's original question, but I'll put it here again in case anyone misses it.
You do not need to uninstall everything, and if I had to manually add a new path link for every npm package I try to install I'd probably shoot myself.
npm install -g karma-cli
Boom. Now you have karma command lines installed. Just like Grunt.
Edit: Please don't forget to upvote #mayankcpdixit as well, he commented directly on the original post, but didn't actually "answer" the question.

In your ~/.bash_profile (or similar) amend your PATH to include npm-installed binaries:
export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/share/npm/bin"
I had this very same issue, and found this solution to be less time-consuming and impactful than completely re-installing node.
EDIT this has also worked for others in bash_profile
export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/lib/node_modules/karma/bin"

It is recommended to install karma with its Command-Line-Interface (karma-cli) which will take care of fetching the appropriate karma. You can also install a different local version specific to each project you're working on and karma-cli will pick the appropriate one.
From the karma installation page:
Typing ./node_modules/karma/bin/karma start sucks so you might find it useful to install karma-cli globally:
npm install -g karma-cli
Now, check that karma was installed by typing:
karma start
You can also check that karma was installed by going to this directory:
cd /usr/local/lib/node_modules/karma
Good luck!

Don't need to completely uninstall node.js
Just
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/
Then
install node.js
Then
reinstall karma
This worked for me.

I had to add export PATH="$PATH":/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/karma/bin after installing karma with sudo npm install karma.
hope this helps.

Just go to test.sh:
Find: $BASE_DIR/../node_modules/karma/bin/karma start $BASE_DIR/../config/karma.conf.js $*
Replace with: /usr/local/bin/karma start $BASE_DIR/../config/karma.conf.js $*
Or: karma start $BASE_DIR/../config/karma.conf.js $*

I was also facing the same issue. It looks like karma for command line is a separate package which can be installed by
npm install -g karma-cli

When upgrading from Karma 0.10 to 0.12 the link to the karma executable is removed.
You can get it back with
cd node_modules/.bin
ln -s ../karma/bin/karma karma

Try re-installing node.js. There are lots of ways to install it, but I recommend downloading from nodejs.org
If that doesn't work, you may try to re-install karma.

Can't remove Gatsby NPM package on MacOS

I'm having some issues getting Gatsby working. I want to remove my previous installation and start fresh.
Running npm list -g --depth 0 reveals:
/usr/local/lib
├── gatsby-cli#2.12.68
├── grunt-cli#1.3.2
└── npm#6.4.1
When I run npm uninstall --save -g gatsby-cli#2.12.68 the output is up to date in 0.031s - yet the Gatsby NPM package is still there.
Is there something I'm doing wrong here? Any help would be appreciated :)

$ npm-windows-upgrade
I get
'$ npm-windows-upgrade' is not recognized as an internal or external
command
I was following the directions here. Any idea what's going on? I've been googling it for a while and not getting much more than those basic instructions.
UPDATE
Realized the issue was with everything I was trying to install globally. I thought the other packages I was trying to run worked but they did not. For example $ webpack returns the same error after installing it gloablly.
BACKGROUND
I'm running windows and had previously installed npm. When that started giving me all sorts of bugs I upgraded to npm3. I belive it was just
$ npm install npm3 -g
and then running all my commands starting with npm3, for example
$ npm3 install webpack --save
Today the same command gave me
'npm3' is not recognized as an internal or external command
So I tried to reinstall it with regular npm which gave me "'npm' ins not recognized..."
I was able to get npm working again after following these lovely instructions, but cannot figure out how to get back to version 3.
Also $ npm -v right now is 2.15.1
To answer my own question.
The problem was my path settings. Npm itself was working, but for some reason the location where it was installing global node modules was in different directory. I saw this when I ran
$ npm install npm-windows-upgrade -g
The first few lines it prints when you install show where it is being installed.
I noticed it was being installed in
C:\Users\(my_username)\AppData\Roaming\npm\nodemodules\npm-windows-upgrade
even though I had just fixed npm by pointing it to
C:\ProgramFiles\npm
so I changed that to the npm location it was actually using to
C:\Users\(my_username)\AppData\Roaming\npm
restarted my computer and it worked.
Here again are instructions to change your path variables.

Laravel Forge kills the deploy script

The Forge server has been linked to a GitLab repository. So every time I push my new commits to my master branch Gitlab triggers Forge's Deployment url.
The problem seems like my deploy script are taking too long time to execute, and this results in Forge are killing the script. Can I somehow avoid the killing of the deploy script?
My deploy script:
cd /home/forge/x.dk
git pull origin master
composer install --no-interaction --no-dev --prefer-dist
npm install
npm install gulp
gulp --production
php artisan migrate --force

I would avoid doing this NPM stuff in the deploy script:
npm install
npm install gulp
Probably what you need is to install Gulp via SSH and then just let the deploy script runs gulp --production on each push.
To access your server via SSH follow this Laracast: https://laracasts.com/series/server-management-with-forge/episodes/4. It explains how to connect to the database but it's basically the same.
When you have SSH access, install Gulp with:
sudo apt-get update
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup | sudo bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
sudo npm install -g gulp
Hope it helps.

smash: command not found (npm)

I am trying to install an Elm-d3 connector I found on Github.
Elm is a functional-reactive programming language Evan Czaplicki
d3.js is the popular graphics meta-library by Michael Bostock
Elm-d3 enables you create type-safe, composable widgets using HTML, SVG, and CSS. D3 acts as a conceptual basis for the library, as well as an alternative renderer for Elm.
The first two install instructions are:
npm install smash
make
Installing smash goes smoothly (although I have to use sudo)
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/smash
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/smash
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/queue-async
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/optimist
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/optimist
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/queue-async
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/wordwrap
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/wordwrap
smash#0.0.12 ../../../node_modules/smash
├── queue-async#1.0.7
└── optimist#0.3.7 (wordwrap#0.0.2)
However after installing I can't seem to refer to smash, which merges Javascript files together into one.
$ smash
bash: smash: command not found
I don't think node.js is actually used anywhere, just organized by npm. Why can't I find smash after installing it?
When I try to run make I get related errors:
make: node_modules/.bin/smash: Command not found
make: Nothing to be done for `all'.
If you want to use smash (or just about any other npm program) from your bash prompt you need to install it globally by using the -g flag.
npm install -g smash

npm doesn't install global modules correct

There's a problem with installing my global modules properly.
My System
OS: OS X Mountain Lion

Steps to reproduce
Input
npm install coffee -g (or any other module)

/usr/local/bin/coffee exists: No
What else can I do?
I won't add the direct link to coffee to my $PATH-variable, because that's not my job, that's the job of npm! Really, why should I use npm when I could do it by myself? I read that answer like 100 times and I have no words for this, which aren't against the rules on SO.
If you want to install CoffeeScript globally (as one of the tags suggests), you shall install coffee-script (not coffee).
Additionally, sudo is required for installing global module on the Mac.
Command:
sudo npm install coffee-script -g
Input
% coffee
Output
coffee>
