Here's a step-by-step tutorial based on the steps you took to resolve the issue of quikdb not being found in your terminal:

Step-by-Step Guide to Resolving quikdb Not Found Issue

1. Verify Package Installation: First, check if quikdb-cli-beta is installed globally by running:

   npm list -g quikdb-cli-beta

   You should see an output similar to:

   /Users/mac/.nvm/versions/node/v18.19.1/lib
   └─┬ [email protected]
     └── [email protected] deduped

   This confirms that the package is installed.

2. Check Global Binary Directory: You attempted to find the global binary directory using:

   npm bin -g

   However, the correct command on some npm versions might not work. To check where the global npm binaries are located, you can try:

   npm root -g

   This will show you the global installation directory, like:

   /Users/mac/.nvm/versions/node/v18.19.1/lib/node_modules

   The global executables (such as quikdb) are typically found in the bin subdirectory of the path returned.

3. List Files in the Bin Directory: To ensure quikdb is in the global binary path, list the contents of the bin directory:

   ls /Users/mac/.nvm/versions/node/v18.19.1/bin

   You should see quikdb in the list of executables:

   cdk                     npm                     pm2-runtime             serve
   cdk8s                   npx                     pnpm                    quikdb

4. Update PATH: The next step is to ensure that the global binary directory is included in your system’s PATH. To do this, run:

   export PATH="$PATH:/Users/mac/.nvm/versions/node/v18.19.1/bin"

   Then, make sure the changes are persistent by adding the export command to your ~/.zshrc file (if you're using zsh):

   echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/Users/mac/.nvm/versions/node/v18.19.1/bin"' >> ~/.zshrc

   After adding this line, reload your shell configuration:

   source ~/.zshrc

5. Uninstall and Reinstall the Package: If the above steps still don't resolve the issue, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling the quikdb-cli-beta package:

   npm uninstall -g quikdb-cli-beta
   npm install -g quikdb-cli-beta

   This ensures that any issues with the package installation are cleared up.

6. Verify quikdb Command: After the reinstall, verify that the quikdb command is now recognized by running:

   which quikdb

   You should now see the correct path to the quikdb executable, for example:

   /Users/mac/.nvm/versions/node/v18.19.1/bin/quikdb

7. Test quikdb Command: Finally, you can try running the quikdb command to ensure it works:

   quikdb install

   If everything is set up correctly, you should not see the "command not found" error anymore.
