cleancss, command not found if global isn't used while installing clean-css-cli

See original GitHub issue

Hi, Awesome tool.

cleancss isn’t available on command line unless I install it globally. Pasting output for problem.

➜  Server git:(minify-assests) ✗ npm install --save clean-css-cli
~/Server
└── clean-css-cli@4.1.6 

➜  Server git:(minify-assests) ✗ cleancss
zsh: command not found: cleancss

In the documentation it’s mentioned to install it locally using npm install clean-css-cli. Is it intended behavior?

I am using macOS, Sierra v10.12.4.

Thanks

Yes, we need to make it clear only the global install puts cleancss in the global $PATH. PRs are always welcome!

Thanks for replying.

Extremely sorry for providing wrong info, you are right uglifyjs also doesn’t work. I had two node version installed and that created confusion.

So the documentation has to be fixed, right? Submit a PR?

Thanks

Closing as ‘won’t fix’ as clean-css-cli is going into maintenance mode. If anyone wants to bring it back up, please submit a PR.
