I need to set environmental variable for the babel-cli, i know the path however I could not set up. here is the path:

~/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/babel-cli/bin

inside this folder there are 4 files. i need to run babel.js via babel command.

export babel=~/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/babel-cli/bin/babel

this is the first thing i considered. then i slightly changed the path. for example, I replaced ~ with home, i omitted . from .config, i appended js to babel, babel.js, and more but I could not get it done.

I installed babel-cli locally yet I got same error:

 bash: babel: command not found

According to the yarn global documentation, you should add a special bin folder to $PATH:

export PATH="$(yarn global bin):$PATH"

If you add this statement to the appropriate initialization file (like ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc or whatever), you’ll be able to use globally installed packages’ commands from anywhere without further configuration.

  • Don’t run anything. Add the exact line I wrote above. Otherwise you will break stuff. Also, for the changes to take effect, you need to re-open the shell.
