node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1404
  throw err;

}

Node.js v22.17.0

i try to manually install the nodejs packages with this command in A/theme/static_src : npm install

where is my problem from ?

This error occurs because Node.js can't find the npm executable. Here are the steps to resolve it:

1. Verify npm is installed and accessible

which npm
npm --version

2. If npm is not found, install Node.js and npm

• Visit https://nodejs.org and install the latest LTS version
• Or use a package manager like apt, brew, or nvm

3. If npm is installed but still getting the error, set the explicit path

Add this to your Django settings.py file:
NPM_BIN_PATH = "/full/path/to/npm" # Use the path from 'which npm'

4. Alternative debugging steps

• Try running npm install manually in the theme/static_src/ directory
• Check if your virtual environment or system PATH is correctly configured
• On some systems, you might need to use the full path like /usr/local/bin/npm

5. If you're using a Node version manager (nvm)

Activate it first:
nvm use node # or your preferred version
python manage.py tailwind install

The error suggests Node.js is trying to execute a file called "install" instead of running the npm command properly.

I'll give it a try soon.
