sh: run-p: command not found

[abdipramana]

Hey guys, I following the docs and on step 4 run command npm install && npm run dev got error like this:

npm install && npm run dev
up to date, audited 1 package in 567ms
found 0 vulnerabilities
> dev
> npm run development
> development
> run-p development:**
sh: run-p: command not found

I use node v18.14.0 and npm 9.3.1

Is there any config I'm missing? Thanks!

Hi Abdi—Thanks for posting your question!

Could you please confirm a few things for me:

• Which operating system are you using?
• Which folder are you located in when running these commands?
• Is there a node_modules folder in your repository root? If yes, does it have a large number of folder inside it?

My first impression is that something is going wrong with the install process, as it says npm install didn't actually install anything. (Or you've run npm install already, prior to this.)

If the install process has run successfully, then something about your setup is preventing your shell from running the appropriate installed applications. (run-p is part of npm-run-all, which should have been installed as part of the install process.)

Hi Greg, thanks for the response.

I'm currently use macOS Monterey, Local for dev tools environment. My project structure runs commands in the wp-content/themes/wjnt directory, and I also have a node_modules folder at the root of my project on wp-content/themes/wjnt`.

After running npm install, I can confirm that the packages are present in the node_modules folder (I'll attach a screenshot for your reference). However, when I execute npm list, it shows an empty result and tries to clear the npm cache also.

Any suggestions or feedback on how to resolve this issue? Thank you

Could you please try deleting the node_modules folder and running npm install again? That folder should have significantly more subfolders, so something seems to have gone wrong in the installation process.

December 2024 - I can confirm the same issue, have removed the node_modules folder and run npm install several times and get the same, few subfolders. The following npm run dev and npm run watch fail, with the error - sh: run-p: command not found

OK, after some fighting with terminal, I have this working.

I do have one question, though. Is it possible to modify the style.css author section? I have various custom links that I generally add, and have tried to do this but, of course, it is updated each time the css rebuilds.

You might try modifying tailwind/custom/file-header.css before running a build step.

Super, thank you!
