Nodemon not going into Environment Variables.

Hi, I type the commands exactly as in the video

"npm install nodemon"

It installs nodemon successfully.

I type "nodemon"

it says "'C:\Users\Christopher\AppData\Roaming\npm' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. At line:1 char:17

  • set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Users\Christopher\AppData\Roaming\npm;
  • ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    • CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (C:\Users\Christopher\AppData\Roami ng\npm:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
    • FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException"
