Nodejs Error: "NODE_ENV" is not recognized as an internal or external command
Dung Do Tien Jun 04 2021 258
I'm a beginner in Nodejs, I'm trying to setup an environment for a Node.js app. But I got an error:
"NODE_ENV" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable command or batch file.
I installed package win-node-env by using the command:
npm install -g win-node-envI'm using Windows and also tried set NODE_ENV=development but it's still not working.
How can I resolve it?

It sounds like your error comes from an attempt to run something like this (which works in Linux)
NODE_ENV=development node index.js
the equivalent in Windows would be
SET NODE_ENV=development node foo.js
running in the same command shell. You mentioned set NODE_ENV did not work, but wasn't clear how/when you executed it.
I hope it works for you!

You can try with windows you can use
&in between commands also. Like,"scripts": { "start": "SET NODE_ENV=development & nodemon app/app.js", }And it works for me.
