zsh: command not found?

I've installed http-server and gulp but when I type http-server I get the response "zsh: command not found" and I'm not quite sure how to fix it.

I had the same problem. What finally fixed it for me was to install http-server with the following command: npm install http-server -g https://github.com/indexzero/http-server

I have to add that Huston's videos and courses are poorly explained and built. A lot of vital steps for beginners are left out, which can really discourage learning.
