Reproduce the installation from a Windows 11 Command Prompt using Node v19.4.0 and npm 9.3.1, starting with the reported npm install -g javascripting command and the javascripting entry point. Check how the global executable location is exposed to PATH and compare it with the working node_modules\\.bin invocation. Done means identifying whether this is a package or environment issue and documenting or testing a reproducible resolution.

Description

Describe the bug

Hi, I'm a newbie and it's my first time trying Javascripting.

I followed the instructions and after installing node.js, I opened CMD as administrator, on Windows 11.
I ran the command npm install -g javascripting, and next i wrote javascripting, but nothing happens.
Just an error: "javascripting" is not recognized as an internal or external command,
an executable program or batch file.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install node.js'
  2. Open Comand Prompt on Windows 11 as Administrator
  3. i see that in my prompt: C:\Windows\System32>
  4. Type: npm install -g javascripting
  5. wait npm finish installation, installation is ok
  6. Type: javascripting (something like that: C:\Windows\System32>javascripting)
  7. error

Expected behavior
Through the tutorials and videos I've watched, the javascripting program launches on the CMD.

So I did this

The npm install had no error, but I couldn't read the installation directory (too fast). I tried to figure out in which directory npm was actually installing javascripting. After some tries, I found javascripting in this directory:

C:\Windows\System32\node_modules\.bin
From here, you can also double click on javascripting.cmd.

I wrote this in command prompt

cd node_modules

C:\Windows\System32\node_modules>

cd .bin

C:\Windows\System32\node_modules\.bin>

javascripting

javascripting starts It works!

Execution environment (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Windows 11
  • Version 22621.1105
  • Node Version v19.4.0
  • NPM 9.3.1

What did I do wrong? Why doesn't javascripting start in my case like in the tutorials I've seen online?

Thanks
