Hi All,

i am trying to install salesforce cli by using npm install --global sfdx-cli command.
the install seems to be successful as its extracting all the metadata.However after installation while running the SFDX command its not working.Also i was not able to find any folder created as a result of cli installation.
Can anybody help me here.

Hi Bhaskar,
Greetings to you!
Please make sure the PATH in the terminal is the same as what you have for VS Code.
Check your terminal path:
1. Open your terminal
2. Executeecho $PATH.
Check your VS Code path:
1. In VS Code, Help > Toggle Developer Tools
2. In the console at the bottom of the screen, could you show me the output of typing in process.env.PATH?
Also, try to update your npm. Try this to update node:
npm i -g npm
Then run the CLI install again:
npm install sfdx-cli --global
Please refer to the below links which might help you further with the above issue.

My suspicion is that your PATH in the terminal is different from what you have for VS Code.
Check your terminal path
Open your terminal
Executeecho $PATH. Could you show me the output of that?
Check your VS Code path
In VS Code, Help > Toggle Developer Tools
In the console at the bottom of the screen, could you show me the output of typing in process.env.PATH?
If everything is set up properly, the paths should match and there should be something like the global node_module directory with the npm version of Salesforce CLI installed in the path.
I hope you find the above solution helpful. If it does, please mark as Best Answer to help others too.
