I encountered the following problem in completing my work:

'vue-cli-service' is not recognized as an internal or external command.

Below is the code I ran:

npm install -g vue
npm install -g @vue/cli

What’s causing it, and how can it be resolved in the “vue cli service is not recognized as an internal or external command“ in the javascript?

    The cause:

    Looking at your problem I find that the package @vue/cli-service is set up in your local node_modules environment but it should be installed as global, so it causes the problem ”Vue cli service is not recognized as an internal or external command”. 

    Solution:

    In the case cmd is being used in windows. You have to remove the node_modules folder and from the cmd let’s operate npm i. After that, attempt running npm run serve once more time and it will work well at that time.

  2. Globally install vue/cli-service 

    npm install @vue/cli-service -g

    This will install global NPM package.

    @vue/cli-service is installed globally because you don’t usually copy these packages to every project.

    If the global package npm gets corrupted it will not be stored in the node_modules folder but in another depending on the OS. It is not possible to remove node_modules. These are the locations for global node_modules directories

    • %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules (Win10)
    • /usr/local/lib/node_modules (Linux),
