Got this error when trying to use Node version 14.19.0 after installing it using the gulp command.
Solution
The error message “The system cannot execute the specified program” typically indicates that the command we are trying to run is not recognized by the operating system.
- Make sure you have Node Version Manager (NVM) installed correctly. You can verify this by running nvm –version in your command prompt. If it’s not recognized, you may need to reinstall NVM.
- Ensure that NVM is added to your system’s PATH variable. Restart your command prompt or terminal session after making changes to the PATH variable.
- Confirm that the node command works without using nvm. Try running ‘node –version’ directly in your command prompt. If the node command is recognized, it means Node.js itself is installed properly.
- If the node command works, but you’re still encountering issues with nvm, try reinstalling Node.js using NVM. First, uninstall the current version using nvm uninstall 14.19.0, and then reinstall it using nvm install 14.19.0.
