npx husky install command not found

[TerrySmithDC]

Hi there, I've always been a big fan of this project. Unfortunately I'm having some issues on one of my projects since upgrading to husky 5. Previously this was working using husky 5.1.3, however I cleared my npm cache today and now I'm unable to install or commit on the project.

I have read Troubleshooting: Command not found however this seems like a separate issue so I thought I'd make a ticket.

Info

• Using Item2 / zsh
• Recently cleared npm cache with npm cache clean --force
• I've tried deleting node_modules and package-lock.json followed with npm install in various combinations.

  "scripts": {
    ....
    "postinstall": "husky install"
  },
    "devDependencies": {
    ...
    "husky": "^5.1.3",
  },

Error

➜ npm i
> project@0.1.0 postinstall
> husky install

sh: husky: command not found

I also tried npx husky install which I would have expected to work here. To check my npm/npx is ok I tested out npx serve . and it worked with no problems.

➜ npx husky install
sh: husky: command not found

This feels like a bug / maybe a missing bin file in the registry? Not sure... Any help would be appreciated.

We're having the same error. We're trying to install a RN dependency that has a postinstall script and it uses husky underneath.

npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 1

Hmm I can't seem to reproduce the error, sorry. I would have done the same, delete package-lock.json/node_modules and reinstall.

@wolfmaster8 it seems to have been fixed in 8.0.5

Deleting node_modules and package-lock.json then running npm install fixed the issue for me.

Deleting node_modules and package-lock.json never did work for me.

However over the week end I ended up uninstalling nvm, got the same node/npm version, ran npm install and husky is back to working totally fine.

Delete node_modules and package-lock.json never did work for me.
So i run these two commands and boom magic
npx husky-init && npm install
npm install husky --save-dev
npx husky install

Thanks me later.

I have a problem related to the husky install command since when said command is executed the .husky/_/husky.sh file is empty, which prevents it from working correctly.

I don't know if this has happened to anyone and they have already been able to find a solution.
