I have a laravel project and I need to build styles and scripts with laravel-mix, but a testing server (Ubuntu 20.04.4) hasn’t a globally installed node. Node and npm are in different folders in the system so I run commands like this:
/path/to/node /path/to/npm install
/path/to/node /path/to/npm run dev
But when I run npm run dev
(this command runs laravel-mix build), I see the error:
> [email protected] dev
> mix
/usr/bin/env: ‘node’: No such file or directory
In the package.json it looks like this:
"scripts": {
"dev": "mix"
...
}
I checked the laravel-mix package (in node_modules) and found this: #!/usr/bin/env node
. The package checks the node var in this file, but there is no node var.
I don’t need to change the env file, so how can I change this path or set a temporary system var? Is there any way to simulate that the variable is there?

I resolved my issue with Docker, so now I run this command on git push:
docker run --rm -v /path/to/project:/var/www/html node:16.16.0-alpine npm run dev --prefix /var/www/html
Perhaps it will be useful to someone.
UPD
I found another way to resolve it, I use PATH incorrectly and for this reason it didn't work:
Wrong
I set paths to node and npm and then add it to PATH like this:
And the system can't find npm and node anyway.
The right way
Add
/path/to/node_folders
(node and npm are in it) to PATH:And then, I can run just
npm install
andnpm run dev
without full paths to them.I have one solution for this problem.
The issue regarding naming misspelling or path symlinks.
so that you need to link symlinks for nodejs with this command
or
