suddenly getting errors from force:project:create

I've been using VS Code for a while now doing work in a number of orgs but today I've started getting errors when trying to create new projects.
  
17:08:30.275 sfdx force:project:create --projectname Eden-tncDev --outputdir /Users/Steve/Dev/sfdx --template standard
ERROR running force:project:create:  Command failed with ENOENT: npm root -g --prefix /Users/Steve/Dev/sfdx/.yo-repository --loglevel error
spawnSync npm ENOENT
17:08:30.696 sfdx force:project:create --projectname Eden-tncDev --outputdir /Users/Steve/Dev/sfdx --template standard
 ended with exit code 1

I've already tried reinstalling the Salesforce extensions suite with no luck.  Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Anutej,

I can run other SFDX commands without problem so the path appears fine.  I last created a project about 7-10 days ago without any troubles and first noticed the issue today.  

Based on your suggestions, I reinstalled the CLI and it's now working.  No idea why/how it became corrupted but it's working now.

Thanks!
