how to expose my nodejs cli module in different environments
I'm building a cli using nodejs, called xygcli, everything works fine, but after I published it, I got some peoples telling me that they couldn't find the command
"xygcli not found (zsh)"
I'm sure that they use npm install -g to install this cli, but still have the same issue,
so is there a way to make sure that my cli works after install on any OS/environment/docker ?
node.js npm command-line-interface

They could usenpx, a feature of more recent versions of npm that lets you run CLI commands without having to install them first npmjs.com/package/npx

Any difference in platforms for the folks having trouble from those who aren't? Eg Windows/Linux/Mac? Also, for the global commands to work,the global install location has to be on their PATH.

It turned our that some users has node command defined and the others has nodejs command defined without a symbolic link between the 2,
so I changed the shebang lines of my cli to be:
#!/bin/sh
':' //; exec "$(command -v nodejs || command -v node)" "$0" "$@"
