Error: required external tools are missing: - npm CLI is not installed, please see https://nodejs.org/ to install

I'm trying to follow along at with the demo at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjI-WZtunqA .

After having updated azure cli & installing adzI do

azd init

And then I select the

todo-python-mongo

option and then right click azure.yml and select

 up

option and I get the error

 Error: required external tools are missing: - npm CLI is not installed, please see https://nodejs.org/ to install

I had npm installed and when I received the above error I installed the latest version (16.17.0 LTS) and npm/node.

This did not help! I received the same error.

I tried the azd cosmos C# todo option and received that same error again.

I had installed azure-cli 2.39 before starting this exercise and azd version version 0.1.0-beta.5 (commit 7bd25dd)

I'm running windows 10 & pwsh 7.2.6

I installed 16.17.0 LTS node/npm from here: https://nodejs.org/en/ after my initial attempt failed.

This adz looks like a very nice tool... I would love to see it work on my personal dev machine.

Thanks

Siegfried

Hey there - can you try restarting your terminal to make sure that node made it into your PATH and then try to run azd up again?

What does npm --version return?

It is working now.... maybe the new version fixed it.
