BrowserSync : Command not found

See original GitHub issue

There was another issue open with the same title which has been closed but my error could not be resolved using the solutions given in that issue.

Mac OSX El Capitan
Node [v5.6.0]
Npm [v3.6.0]

I installed Browser-Sync successfully using :

$ sudo npm install -g browser-sync

but when I check the browser-sync version by typing :

$ browser-sync --version

I get this error :

-bash: browser-sync: command not found

This is not a problem with BrowserSync and should be closed. It’s an issue with your environment (OSX, Homebrew, Node.js installed via Homebrew maybe, npm config).

Where does npm install global packages in your setup? (I think you can get that with npm config get prefix.) Is that folder in the $PATH environment variable? If not, you should add it. Be sure to add the exact folder where npm will install executables. In my case, I configured npm to install global packages to ~/Library/npm, and I added ~/Library/npm/bin to my $PATH.
