i ran the following command: npm install -g codesandbox
But when I try to run the command at command prompt: codesandbox ./ its giving me error as below:

codesandbox is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

When I ran the same command on VS Code terminal, it gave me the following error:

codesandbox : The term 'codesandbox' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try 
again.
At line:1 char:1
+ codesandbox ./
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (codesandbox:String) [], CommandNotFoundException

Solution 1

This -g flag makes NPM install the package globally, so that the executable—in your case codesandbox—would be available from any directory, otherwise you will need to be in the same project where you installed it.

Just restart PowerShell, as the window temporarily caches the executables and might cause a problem. Restart the PowerShell window (or CMD) and you will have it, if everything is fine. Or you can check by calling this executable in the same project first.

If that doesn't work, try re-executing the statement that they provided,

$ npm install -g codesandbox

And again, make sure you open a new window, or reboot the system if the executable doesn't work.

Don't get caught in a recursion.

i don't know buddy, for some reason this isn't going well, this is the message I am getting after running the npm install

C:\Users\aaleem\Desktop\DevelopedProjects\React\AQView\AQView\ClientApp>npm install -g codesandbox
npm WARN deprecated datauri@1.1.0: Datauri 2.0 released. See more in https://github.com/data-uri/datauri/releases/tag/v2.0.0

+ codesandbox@2.1.10
updated 1 package in 18.971s

Then when I run the following script this is the error that I am getting.

C:\Users\aaleem\Desktop\DevelopedProjects\React\AQView\AQView\ClientApp>codesankbox ./
'codesankbox' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

What is the reason buddy?

You are using codesankbox ./, the name should be codesandbox ./—note the k in sandbox.
